Helping reduce financial barriers
Practical training should not be out of reach because of cost.
Red Tape Foundation is developing scholarship-supported access to youth safety, babysitting, CPR, First Aid, AED, and related community education programs.
Availability depends on donations, grants, sponsorships, qualified instructors, course scheduling, participant eligibility, and program capacity.
Why scholarships matter
Training costs can prevent people from gaining skills that improve safety and preparedness.
Course fees, certification costs, materials, transportation, and other expenses may create barriers for youth, families, caregivers, volunteers, and community members. Scholarship support can help make participation more accessible when funding and class opportunities are available.
Access
Help eligible participants reach training opportunities they might otherwise be unable to afford.
Preparedness
Expand access to practical skills that support safer decisions and emergency readiness.
Confidence
Give youth and community members opportunities to build useful knowledge and responsibility.
Community benefit
Strengthen families, volunteers, youth organizations, schools, and community-serving groups.
What support may cover
Scholarship assistance may reduce some or all approved training costs.
Who may inquire
Scholarship questions may come from individuals, families, or organizations.
Eligibility may vary by course, age requirements, service area, funding source, program partner requirements, and available seats.
How requests may be reviewed
Decisions are based on both participant circumstances and available program resources.
The general nature of the participant’s financial barrier.
Age, course requirements, location, and other program conditions.
Whether an appropriate class and participant seat are available.
Current donations, grants, restricted sponsorships, and program budgets.
Instructor availability, facilities, scheduling, and materials.
Whether the request supports the Foundation’s educational mission and priorities.
Initial inquiry process
Start with basic information—do not send sensitive records.
An initial inquiry should provide enough information for Red Tape Foundation to understand the request without collecting unnecessary private data.
Provide the participant’s name, age, and parent or guardian contact information when applicable.
Explain the type of training requested and preferred location or service area.
Provide a general description of the financial barrier and any organization involved.
The Foundation will respond when relevant funding, classes, or partnership opportunities are available.

Businesses, foundations, service clubs, community organizations, and individual donors may help sponsor:
- Individual participant seats
