WINTER 2014 | WEAnews 20 Grant Opportunities "GRADUATE: All Students Successful" Grant Opportunity. The John P. Ellbogen Foundation will provide support and funding to a community-based design team of specified stakeholders. The coalition must collaboratively implement and sustain an initiative as part of a larger systemic design to (1) increase the services and supports necessary for more students, especially at-risk students, to complete high school with a diploma AND (2) increase the capacity of students who do graduate to succeed in their first year of postsecondary education/training or their first year in a job. This funding is meant to supplement not supplant funds for current systemic efforts to raise graduation rates.
