The April Thacker Dream Scholarship empowers human trafficking survivors further themselves in their personal development and growth. This program challenges applicants to dream for themselves, outline their goals, and work towards achieving their goals. Our primary goal is to support survivors in defining success for their unique journey. We work with applicants to ask “What is MY dream? How do I imagine getting there? What are my barriers and how do I address them?” Awardees of the Dream Scholarship will be given the opportunity to tackle these questions and work towards bringing their dreams to fruition.

2024 Dream Session Dates:

Friday, April 12th 9:30am - 11:30am

Friday, September 20th 9:30am - 11:30am

Interested applicants must attend full session in Columbus to apply.

We have not yet scheduled 2025 Dream Session dates, but you are still able to fill out the application below and we will let you know when the Spring 2025 session is scheduled.
