Grant Applications 2025

The Criteria: The Andrew McMorris Foundation Grants were created to honor the memory of a very special twelve-year-old boy who was tragically killed by a drunk driver while hiking with his Boy Scout Troop 161 in the Fall of 2018.

Andrew was a multi-talented young man who was full of life. He was an artist, musician, athlete, actor, Boy Scout, world traveler, aspiring pilot, and loyal friend. His smile could light up a room. His ability to try new things and take risks will forever be respected, admired, and inspiring to all. Follow the legacy of Andrew McMorris and pursue YOUR dreams!

The Andrew McMorris Foundation would like fuel the passion of the fine arts, aviation/aerospace and scouting in our youth by offering grants to students K-12 in the amount ranging between $250 -$1500 per grant .
