Maine Youth Action Network
The first one is the bigger one with up to a $2k award. It is open to undocumented folks as well, so immigration status is absolutely not an issue at all. It is open to those who want to pursue some sort of formational program beyond high school, including apprenticeships, college, and any other vocational schools.

The second one only awards a maximum of $500 per “project” and can definitely be a good source to use for transportation or book fees.
