futures.
A scholarship can be the bridge between where a young person is and the work they are ready to do.
A third choice
A shorter route can be a powerful one.
Not every future starts with a four-year degree. Trade schools give young people a focused way to learn a valuable skill, begin earning, and keep moving forward.

Focused training
Build skills for a real occupation in a program designed to get you moving.

03
Local impact
When one person gets a foothold, families and neighborhoods feel it too.
Why F.A.C.T.
Everyone sets out on a different path.
We believe a young person’s potential should not be measured by how closely their story follows someone else’s.
01
More than one definition of success.
College is one path. Skilled work, technical expertise, and a career built with your hands are paths too.
02
Confidence grows through practice.
Trade school makes progress visible: learn a skill, solve a problem, see what you can do.
03
Second chances still count.
A setback at school or home should not close the door on what comes after it.
04
Opportunity is a community effort.
Donors, schools, mentors, and students all help make a practical future possible.
The belief behind the work
“No one should ever feel like no one believes in them.”
F.A.C.T. was created to help young people see options, find a foothold, and keep their future open — especially when the usual doors have not felt open to them.
