The Foundation cannot accept an application without a budget. The grant award amount will be based upon this budget. Attach an invoice if one is available.

The more work you do on this part of the application, the better. Some categories might include:
1. Fees and tuitions

Demonstration of Learning
How and when, specifically, do you promise to tell the Foundation and others about your learning? As a grant recipient, you will be accountable for demonstrating your learning and for sharing this in some way with the Foundation and with a part of the Georgetown community. This can be web-based, in-person, in print, or in another format, and it should document the learning journey and any products or events that result from the project. Depending upon your project, the Foundation will tell you when an accountability statement or event is due. Your Sponsor and/or Parent may help you to complete this step.
