ESAI Spirit of Giving Grant

Empowering Schools. Expanding Counselor Capacity. Elevating Student Storytelling.

In the spirit of giving—and in recognition of the heightened demands that schools and students face during peak application season—ESAI is launching a special Spirit of Giving Grant for one school or school district to receive full, no-cost access to ESAI for the remainder of this year's college application cycle.

This limited, winter-only grant is designed to strengthen your school's college-readiness efforts, reduce counselor workload, and ensure students have access to ethical, confidence-building AI support during the most demanding period of the year.

Up to $5 Million

The ESAI Spirit of Giving Grant reflects a significant investment in student support when applied across a district-wide senior class. Our goal is to remove barriers, expand opportunity, and ensure that every student has access to the tools that can strengthen their college journey. We provide this at no cost to ensure that financial limitations never prevent students from receiving the support they deserve.
