PROJECT LAUNCH
~Helping Dreams Take Flight~
What is the Student Support Fund?
The Student Support Fund was created in 2025 to assist Project Launch participants with unexpected one-time expenses that create barriers and derail their future plans. Whether they are going to college, getting a certification or beginning a career, sometimes the only thing standing between them and their future is an enrollment or certification fee, a set of tools, professional attire or even textbooks.
What kinds of things can the Student Support Fund help with?
The Student Support Fund can help with one-time costs such as:
-
$1,000 Certified Nurse’s Assistant degree tuition, books and state certification exam fee
-
$500 college enrollment deposit to secure classes and housing
-
$500 towards a starter tool set for automobile mechanic apprenticeship
-
$500 towards a tool set for trade degree programs (such as plumbing & electrical)
-
$250 towards a professional starter wardrobe
-
$250 towards college textbooks for one semester
Who can apply for the Student Support Fund?
Any present or past Deer Isle- Stonington student can apply. Those who have been participants of Project Launch will be given priority.
