The "I Have A Dream, Too!" Challenge Grant Program is designed to help young people make their dreams a reality by providing them with financial resources that can help them to make their dreams a priority. Each year, Bob Tryanski Presents awards several grants of up to $1,000.00 to students from our partner schools and organizations that can effectively articulate a vision of their dream and then outline a plan to make their dream a reality. The Challenge Grants are intended to support student initiatives that lack more conventional sources of financial support. This is not a traditional scholarship; it is a chance to fulfill a DREAM!
