Share Your Story — MarketFoundry Scholarship

Why are we asking?

Thank you for applying to the MarketFoundry Scholarship. We'd love to learn more about you and your situation. Your answers help us in two important ways:

1. Matching you with funding. Many workforce programs and donors want to understand who they're helping. The more we know about your story, the better we can advocate on your behalf to secure scholarship funding.

2. Inspiring others to give. When donors hear real stories from real people, they're more likely to fund scholarships. Your story could directly help us raise the money to fund yours — and others like you.

Your privacy is protected. We will never share your full name, location, or contact information. If we share your story, we use first names only and remove any identifying details. You can opt out at any time.

Your Situation

What's your current situation? * Tell us a bit about where you are right now — work, finances, family. Whatever you're comfortable sharing.

What's been the biggest financial challenge you've faced in the last year? * This helps donors understand the real barriers people face.

✨ Both — I'm not sure yet

That's fine! We'll talk through which track fits your situation best after you submit.

Have you tried starting a business or earning income on the side before? * It's totally fine if the answer is no — we're just curious about your experience.

What would it mean to you to earn an extra $1,000–$3,000 per month? * Be specific — what changes first? Bills, savings, your kids, peace of mind?

Your Message to Donors

If you could say one thing to someone considering funding your scholarship, what would it be? * Speak from the heart. This is often the most powerful part of your story.

Your Photo

Upload a photo of yourself * A clear photo is required. Donors connect with real faces — this is the single biggest factor in getting funded. Selfies work great!
