Helping Ann H. Orenski’s descendants reach for their education.
The Orenski Family Education Trust was established to help the lineal descendants of Ann pursue a college education and achieve a sustainable career for themselves. It exists to open doors — to make sure that the cost of tuition is never the reason a member of the family sets aside a degree they are ready to earn.
What the trust does
Support that follows the family forward
Tuition & living support
Grants go toward the real cost of your education — tuition first, and living expenses in some cases — whether you’re pursuing an undergraduate degree, a graduate degree, or a trade-school program.
For every generation
Any member of Ann’s family may apply — her descendants, their spouses, and legally-adopted children. The trust is built to endure, so it can keep opening doors for the family for generations to come.
A fund of last resort
The trust fills the gap. Apply for FAFSA and any other aid you qualify for first, and the trust helps cover what’s left.
Getting started
How it works
- Check your eligibility. Confirm your line of descent from Ann and your enrollment plans.
- Apply for a semester. Submit an initial application with your program, your story, and the documents we ask for.
- The trustees review together. They weigh each request and decide what the trust can support.
- Renew each term. A short continuing application keeps support going as you progress toward your goal.
