Our Mission is. . .
to create and expand opportunities for motivated students to acquire the best academic education, job training, and support or mitigation for learning disabilities that our community has to offer. We believe that personal and family stability, meaningful & profitable employment, respect for yourself and others, equality, development in community/national citizenship and systemic cooperation are tied together and all characteristics of and the result of EDUCATION.
The Bochatey Foundation believes that EDUCATION encompasses a vast range of needs and possibilities: that includes fundamental academic skills, liberal arts, life and work skills (either professional or vocational) as well as being mentored in spiritual understanding and developing psychological/behavioral skills that are required for maturity and living peacefully within a complex democratic community..
Our goal is to help people achieve their goals to become proud, productive, and happy members of the community. Our goal is also to help develop individuals who are self-sufficient, able to contribute to family and society by paying it forward.

The Bochatey Foundation has received special provisions to grant personal scholarships to people of any age, race, national origin, color, religions, disability, gender, orientation, or ethnicity who can't otherwise afford the education that would help them (including children), and thus their family and community, be more productive and independent. Following are examples of what we consider education. They might get you thinking about education in a broader way, about education applied to life in a new way, about a better future:
- tutoring in academic subjects for young and old(er)
- learning centers that teach study and test-taking skills including brain rewiring
- supplies for home schooling, literacy, and bi-lingual
- group or individual coaching to assist with learning disabilities and difficulties such as Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, or Autism spectrum
- Lessons in music, art, dance, and theatre for youth
- Technical and Professional writing and communication as well as ESL
- Speech therapy, sign language, lip-reading and audio & braille technologies.
- Vocational training, Apprenticeships, Professional Certificates, etc.
- Leadership and life skill camps for adults and young adults
- Wilderness camps that teach common sense, self-reliance, and liberal arts
- Literacy and Basic skills for adults (including computer)
- K-12, GED, College and beyond, especially for those who can't attend because they are in medical care, incarcerated, home bound, and the like.
Our most important criteria is that your education improves your situation in life and helps the greater community by who you become in the process. We are looking for motivated individuals who want to work toward a better life which will eventually help others. We have adopted the following goals for education in the lives of those who are awarded personal scholarships to help you form a proposal or application:
- EDUCATION4Family
- EDUCATION4Stability
- EDUCATION4Employment
- EDUCATION4Happiness
- EDUCATION4Future
- EDUCATION4Freedom

EDUCATION4FUTURE
What if you could eliminate the phrase “If only..." from your life?
If you say to yourself something like this, we might be able to help.
- If only I had the tools to get into a welding apprenticeship, I could live the way I want and better support my family.
- If only I had child care so I could go to nursing school, I could help myself and others.
- If only I could get a college degree while I’m in this cell, I could change my life when I get out and do more right away.
- If only I could be better at English, reading, or math, I could get a better job.
- If only I could pass that test so I could become a paramedic, emergency management agent, law enforcement or firefighter. I want it for myself. I want to help others. I want my kids to have a better life.
- If only my son/daughter had more confidence, they would have an easier time in school. I don't want them to be so angry and frustrated all the time.
Dyslexia and Discalculia are common learning disabilities that don't have to stop you.
