Our mission is to remove financial barriers that prevent families from accessing high-quality early childhood education during the most critical developmental years of life.<\/p>\n<p>Many working families in our community struggle to afford consistent, structured early education. Without access, children are more likely to begin kindergarten behind in literacy, social-emotional development, and foundational learning skills. Our scholarship program ensures that children from low- to moderate-income households can receive stable, enriched early education regardless of financial hardship.<\/p>\n<p>This $10,000 grant will directly support partial scholarships for multiple children over a one-year period. While the total scholarship budget exceeds $35,000, this funding will expand the number of families we can serve and reduce waiting lists for tuition assistance. Funds will be fully utilized within the grant year.<\/p>\n<p>Children in our program benefit from early literacy development, structured social-emotional learning, creative arts exposure, and age-appropriate community engagement activities that build responsibility and confidence. By investing in children during their earliest years, we are strengthening long-term academic outcomes and overall well-being.<\/p>\n<p>Support from the Hermanowski Family Foundation would allow us to equip more young children in Tarrant County with the foundational tools they need to reach their full potential.<\/p>\n<p>Total Project Budget: $35,000<\/p>\n<p>Other Funding <br \/>\nSources For The Project (Committed &amp; Potential): Community fundraising events, Individual donor contributions, Corporate sponsorship outreach, Board-led fundraising initiatives<\/p>\n<p>Project Duration: January 1, 2027 \u2013 December 31, 2027 (Or one full calendar year following award notification)<br \/>\nGeographical Area Served: Tarrant County, Texas<br \/>\nAge Group To Be Served: 6 weeks to 5 years<\/p>\n<p>Contact Information<\/p>\n<hr size='1' noshade='noshade' \/>\n<p>Contact Prefix (Mr,Mrs etc.): Mr.<br \/>\nContact First Name: Mitchell<br \/>\nContact Last Name: Harris<br \/>\nContact Title: Board Chair<br \/>\nContact Phone: 4695164763<br \/>\nContact Email: info@starlightscholarsadvocacygroup.org<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hermanowski Family Foundation Initial Request Form Organization Name: Starlight Scholars Advocacy Group Legal Name (if Different): Also Known As: Mailing Address: 7701 North Richland Blvd. City: North Richland Hills State: Texas Postal Code: 76180 Main Phone: 8177885500 Main Fax: Organization Website: https:\/\/www.starlightscholarsadvocacygroup.org\/ Employer ID Number: 39-4616001 Organization Tax Status: 501(c)(3) Proposal Information Today&#8217;s Date: 2\/26\/26 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9616","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-grants"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9616","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9616"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9616\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9617,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9616\/revisions\/9617"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9616"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9616"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9616"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
