Students & Families
More opportunity. More of the world.
WOLF Scholarship is preparing its 2027 scholarship program to help eligible K-12 students participate in enriching educational experiences that expand what they can see, do and imagine.
Our focus
Education beyond the classroom.
WOLF's initial emphasis is on qualifying enrichment opportunities connected to a student's education. These experiences can turn lessons into lived experience and create confidence that lasts long after a trip, competition or event ends.
★
Competition & leadership
State and national competitions, leadership conferences, academic programs, career and technical experiences and similar opportunities.
↗
Experiences that open doors
Opportunities that help students discover careers, communities, ideas and possibilities that may not be readily available close to home.
Eligibility
Who may qualify?
Final WOLF application rules will follow federal law, Treasury and IRS guidance and WOLF's published scholarship criteria. The federal program generally requires an eligible K-12 student and household income within the applicable statutory limit.
Need-based support. WOLF is designed to help students whose families may not otherwise be able to afford the full cost of an educational opportunity.
School-connected opportunity. WOLF expects trips and programs to be reviewed with the sponsoring school, district or approved provider before student applications open.
Individual eligibility. Approval of a trip or program does not automatically make every student eligible; each applicant must satisfy WOLF and federal requirements.
Direct payment. Approved scholarship expenses are expected to be paid directly to the school, district or approved provider rather than as unrestricted cash to a family.
How it is expected to work
From opportunity to scholarship.
01
Opportunity is reviewed
A school, district or trip sponsor contacts WOLF so the educational opportunity can be reviewed before families apply.
02
Applications open
Once the opportunity is accepted for WOLF consideration, eligible students and families receive instructions for applying.
03
Eligibility is verified
WOLF reviews each student's eligibility and application under uniform, published criteria.
04
Approved costs are paid
Scholarship funds are paid to the school, district or approved provider whenever practicable.
Important
WOLF approval of a trip or program means the opportunity may be considered for scholarship funding. It does not guarantee an award to any individual student, and all awards remain subject to eligibility, available funds and final program rules.
A student's family income should not determine how much of the world they get to experience. WOLF is being built so more students can say yes when an extraordinary educational opportunity comes along.
Does your school already have a trip or opportunity?
Ask the school or trip sponsor to contact WOLF first so the opportunity can be reviewed.
