$30,000 Grant Program Aims to Build High School Students’ College / Career Decision-Making Skills
PHILADELPHIA - August 24, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
The Alliance for Decision Education, a national nonprofit spearheading a movement to have decision-making skills taught in K-12 schools, announced the launch of an 18-month grant program aimed at preparing high school students for life after graduation.
The grant - Planning Your Path: A College and Career Decision-Making Incubator - is for high schools that want to bring Decision Education into their classrooms by designing programs that broadly impact the way students make decisions about careers and college.
"This program aims to help students navigate one of the most challenging and important decisions in their young lives: What to do after high school?" said Alliance Director of Education Megan Roberts. "Empowering students with key decision-making skills and processes will help them form better decisions and make them feel more confident in their ability to do so."
The Alliance, supported by two Nobel Laureates and leaders in nearly every industry, has been working since 2014 to build and coalesce the interdisciplinary field of Decision Education, which draws on concepts from psychology, neuroscience, behavioral economics, and decision sciences.
Through the grant program, each selected school will appoint a team of 3-5 staff members to lead work on their projects, take part in professional development, and receive coaching from an Alliance Education Manager. School teams are expected to learn about Decision Education throughout the grant period, and projects will eventually be shared with a national audience.
The application window opens on August 22 and closes on October 7. Awards will be made in late October.

Dandymen Launches in Walmart Stores Nationwide
Dandymen Collection at Walmart
Clarifying Shampoo, Clarifying Conditioner, Sea Salt Spray, Styling Paste and Grooming Clay available at select Walmart stores and on Walmart.com.
The Dandymen Collection, a men's hair care line focused on the delivery of barber built products with quality ingredients, launched a curated collection in select Walmart stores across the United States and on Walmart.com in August.
"This collaboration is a really exciting opportunity because our business has grown up in Walmart's back yard, so naturally our biggest dream has been to work with the retailer located here in our community," stated Lucas Kemper, CEO and Co-Founder of Dandy Men, LLC. "We want to advance the offerings that men have in brick & mortar locations with the highest-quality products at the most competitive rates, and our collaboration with Walmart helps achieve this."
As a globally recognized barber and international educator in the industry, Kemper has a deep understanding and passion for hair health. He co-founded Dandy Men, LLC with his two business partners Baxter Conley and Melissa Maltarich in 2020. The brand was born in his barbershop in Bentonville, Arkansas, with a commitment to customer education on hair health and the incorporation of safe and quality ingredients.
"We've eliminated the water-resistant chemicals that build up on the scalp to help alleviate clogged follicles and minimize the flaking that you often find caused by those ingredients," Kemper said. "The products are light, with a great hold and wash out effortlessly."
The Bentonville-based company's exclusive launch with Walmart expands accessibility for existing and new customers by providing additional ways for the customer to shop. What was once a direct-to-consumer e-commerce and barbershop brand can now be easily found in Walmart stores across the country. The items now sold in select Walmart stores include a Clarifying Shampoo & Conditioner, Styling Paste, Grooming Clay and a Sea Salt Spray.
About the Dandymen Collection
The Dandymen Collection is a lineup of men's hair care products that are formulated, tested, and signed off on by professionals in the industry for use on most hair types. We strive to improve scalp and hair health with quality ingredients. The items in our collection are refreshingly uncomplicated and allow our customers to achieve great-looking hair styles using products that feel like nothing but hold like something and wash out with ease.
