hoel student grant

The Hoel Student Grant provides enrichment opportunities for student participation in co-curricular and extracurricular activities enhancing and encouraging well-rounded, successful students.

Applicant Eligibility & grant terms

A maximum of $2,000 in total grants will be awarded per year (September 1 through August 31). Applications will be reviewed on a continual basis throughout the year until the maximum $2,000 has been awarded. Grants are awarded on a first come first served basis.

Who May Apply:

Student grants are available to students enrolled in School District 624 in grades PreK-12 who, because of financial hardship, are prohibited from participating in enrichment activities. Students are expected to explore other avenues of funding, including the organization running the desired activity.

Please be aware of the following:

  • Applications must be submitted by a school counselor, social worker, psychologist, liaison, or administrator.

  • If you qualify for free or reduced lunch, your request may qualify through the School District.

  • Most athletic clubs and businesses offer a scholarship or reduced fee for those in need.

  • Please check the resources above before applying for the grant.

  • Checks will be made out and sent directly to the organization providing the activity.

Selection Process:  Applications will be reviewed on a continuous basis by the White Bear Lake Area Educational Foundation’s Hoel Grant selection committee and recipients will receive notification by phone or email.

Eligible Requests: Requests will be evaluated on student enrichment opportunity and educational enhancement. Possible eligible activities include, but are not limited to: non-school sponsored athletic fees and equipment, Community Education offerings and other co-curricular activities. Travel costs related to academic achievement may also be considered.

Award Range:  Up to $200 per applicant may be awarded each year. Funds must be disbursed within one month of date granted. Unused funds revert back to the White Bear Lake Area Educational Foundation.
