About Our Mission

Bailey's Dream is dedicated to supporting first-generation college students from Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring, MD.

Creating Opportunities for Education

Founded in 2018, Bailey's Dream First Generation Scholarship Fund is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a clear mission: to provide financial assistance and mentorship to students who are the first in their families to attend college.

We believe that every student deserves the opportunity to pursue higher education, regardless of their family's financial situation or educational background.

Our scholarship program specifically targets graduating seniors from Montgomery Blair High School who demonstrate academic promise, financial need, and the determination to be the first in their family to earn a college degree.

Important Note

While Bailey's Dream has made significant impact in the past, please be aware that the organization's tax-exempt status was automatically revoked by the IRS for not filing Form 990 for three consecutive years. We are working to resolve this compliance issue and restore our full nonprofit status. Please contact us for the most current information about our operational status.
