About Fusion Academy Scholarship Foundation
The Fusion Academy Scholarship Foundation appears to operate as a very small, student-focused scholarship fund, making direct tuition-assistance awards to individual students. Its sole recorded grant is a one-time $30,000 tuition award to an individual in Grand Rapids, suggesting the foundation prioritizes direct financial support for access to private/alternative schooling on a case-by-case basis.

About Fusion Academy Scholarship Foundation
Fusion Academy Scholarship Foundation’s grantmaking is centered on tuition assistance for individual students, with awards reaching as high as $30,000 in the 2023 record. The foundation’s recent grants show a direct, student-level approach to education access rather than institutional support: Carlos Lozano in Vallejo, California received the largest award, while Ariella Sherman and Matan Sherman, both in Los Angeles, each received $20,000. The pattern is consistent with the foundation’s annual student scholarship program, which provides financial assistance to students attending Fusion Academy, Fusion Global Academy, or Barnstable Academy who demonstrate financial need and educational hardship. Awards are described as based on financial need and available funds, and two students are recognized each year as part of the program. The mix of awards also suggests flexibility in how support is allocated, with grants ranging from smaller awards such as $500 to larger tuition packages. In the latest filing year, the foundation made direct grants to students across multiple states, all in support of enrollment or retention costs tied to specialized schooling.
What Fusion Academy Scholarship Foundation Funds
The foundation’s core activity is tuition assistance for students needing help paying for specialized education. In 2023, it gave $12,000 to Robert Blaise Stannard in Dunwoody, Georgia for tuition assistance, and $10,000 to Caitlyn Cat Shuman in Spring, Texas for the same purpose. It also supported students in California, including $12,000 to Jordan Pluim in Oakland and $12,000 to Mmbekalo Oredi in San Diego. These awards show a clear emphasis on direct financial aid for K–12 education access rather than grants to schools or programs. The scholarship program is explicitly tied to Fusion Academy, Fusion Global Academy, and Barnstable Academy, and the stated criteria include financial need and educational hardship. That combination points to a funder focused on helping individual students remain enrolled in personalized schooling arrangements.
How Fusion Academy Scholarship Foundation Gives
The foundation’s published grant-size distribution is $2,000 at the 25th percentile, $7,000 at the median, and $11,500 at the 75th percentile. The 2023 record shows a wide spread around that center, from $500 awards up to a $30,000 grant. The data also indicate a direct-scholarship structure: the foundation funds individuals rather than organizations, and its active scholarship program accepts unsolicited applications. All recorded grants in the latest year went to students, and the grant list reflects one-time tuition assistance awards rather than multi-year institutional commitments. With annual grants of $181,385 against assets of $849,114, the funder operates on a modest scale relative to its asset base.
