In 2019, we launched a new award for graduates who are not going on to a formal post-secondary program (training or college) after graduation.

The 2022 Application is open now.

The Ready Alchemist Foundation (Ready AF) Awards are $250 cash awards that recipients can use to help them get their start. It’s designed for students who have a plan for what they are doing after school, and can talk about their plan and why they are pursuing it.

The application is pretty simple – you just need to tell us about you, tell us about your plan, and tell us why we should choose you! We’re also asking for a recommendation from a friend, teacher or community member. The 2022 application is due on May 20.
