Funding & Impact

What it would cost, stated plainly

A scholarship-first model with the arithmetic visible. Change the participant count or the per-participant amount and every figure updates. Optional support lines start blank on purpose — a blank line means not yet estimated, never zero.

Proposed model only. Funding is not confirmed, no scholarship has been awarded, enrollment is not open, and no organization named here has committed anything.

Proposed participants

Directors in the first cohort

$1,500

Scholarship per participant

Covers the proposed course sequence

$15,000

Scholarship subtotal

Participants × per-participant support

Money map — kept separate on purpose

Scholarship support, operating cash and in-kind contributions are different kinds of money. They are listed separately here so nothing is counted twice, and in-kind support is never treated as cash.

Scholarship allocation (10 × $1,500): $15,000
Confirmed operating cash: $0 — incomplete
In-kind contributions — value, never added to the cash request: $0
Lines still marked unconfirmed: $0
Modeled study expense — comparison only, not added: $13,298 ($1,329.76 each)
Funding request (cash): $15,000provisional

Incomplete: 5 lines have no estimate and $0 is still unconfirmed. Blank means not yet estimated, never zero.

Participants

Scholarship support per participant (USD)

Optional support lines

These are not part of the scholarship estimate. Leave a line blank if it has not been estimated — the total will say so.

Line	Quantity	Rate (USD)	Subtotal
Cohort facilitation(hours)	Cohort facilitation quantity	Cohort facilitation rate	not estimated
Program coordination(hours)	Program coordination quantity	Program coordination rate	not estimated
Technology & platform(units)	Technology & platform quantity	Technology & platform rate	not estimated
Evaluation & documentation(units)	Evaluation & documentation quantity	Evaluation & documentation rate	not estimated
Other pilot costs(units)	Other pilot costs quantity	Other pilot costs rate	not estimated
Optional lines entered			$0
Of which operating cash (the only part added to the funding request)			$0

Some lines are blank. A blank line means not yet estimated — it is not a zero, and the total above is therefore incomplete.
