Since 1995, NSB CAPS is dedicated to helping New Smyrna Beach High School graduates continue their education by providing scholarships and support to increase college access and success.
A recurring scholarship relationship with New Smyrna Beach High School defines Nsb Caps Inc. In 2023 and 2024, the foundation directed its two largest recent grants to the school for student scholarships, keeping its support focused on helping local graduates move into postsecondary education. That pattern matches the foundation’s long-running purpose: since 1995, it has aimed to help New Smyrna Beach High School graduates continue their education and increase college access and success. The foundation’s giving centers on education pathways after high school, with scholarships as the main vehicle and accredited colleges, universities, and vocational schools as the destination. Its stated beneficiary group is New Smyrna Beach High School graduates, along with recent graduates pursuing postsecondary education. The grant program description also points to support for vocational training, college enrollment, and transition into further study. Leadership is listed under Carissa Peterson, and the organization reports annual grants of $123,800 against assets of $1,012,111. Its grantmaking is local and entirely within Florida, reinforcing a tightly defined community orientation rather than a broad regional or national portfolio.
Scholarships are the clearest cause area for Nsb Caps Inc. The active NSB CAPS Scholarships program provides support for New Smyrna Beach High School graduates who plan to attend accredited colleges, universities, or vocational schools. That gives the foundation a direct role in helping graduates cover the transition into postsecondary education. The same education-to-career pathway appears in its broader topic profile, which includes vocational and technical training funding, college access and retention supports, and financial barrier removal for higher education. Those themes fit the foundation’s stated purpose of increasing college access and success for local graduates. Youth development is another part of the picture. The existing summary describes support for New Smyrna Beach High School graduates to continue their education, which places the foundation’s work at the point where high school completion turns into the next step after graduation.
Typical awards are tightly clustered: the reported p25 is $61,150, the median is $61,900, and the p75 is $62,650. That narrow spread suggests a standardized scholarship model rather than highly variable grant sizes. The recent grants table also shows two awards of similar size in consecutive years, which fits a repeatable annual pattern. Nsb Caps Inc. is not a funder of individuals, and it does not make program-related investments. Its active program does not accept unsolicited applications.
