Deadline

This application is always open and does not have a deadline. 


Application Access

The Immediate Needs Application must be started by an adult sponsor, which includes: teachers/instructors, school counselors, academic advisors, DCF case managers, or other qualified professionals. The adult sponsor should e-mail submissions@obratefoundation.org to request access to the Immediate Needs Assistance Application. The request should include the adult sponsor’s First & Last Name and E-mail Address. An e-mail response from the O’Brate Foundation will be generated within 24 to 72 hours with directions on how to get started. The adult sponsor will start the application, then follow the instructions in the application to share the app with the youth in order for him/her to complete the remaining application tasks.


Selection of Recipients

Qualified applicants will be contacted by O’Brate Foundation Staff to complete an in-person or video conference interview after application submission. Notification of the award decision can take a few days to several weeks depending on numerous factors. If, after submitting the application, you feel the need is more urgent, please contact our office at 620-277-7831.
