Make a difference! Deadline to fund Summer 2026 scholarships is March 1, 2026.
Unlike broader education nonprofits, we specifically bridge the access gap for students in underserved communities by providing a strategic, three-part investment: camp scholarships, technology awards, and on-demand learning materials. This comprehensive approach maximizes sustained impact beyond a one-off experience.
By narrowly focusing our efforts, we ensure that nearly 85% of all funds go directly into programs, making Creative Launchpad an incredibly efficient investment in Texas youth development. Your contribution is aligned with closing the opportunity gap and preparing students for the massive, growing demand in the creative economy.
