About the Program

The Ford Driving Dreams Tour is designed to motivate students to complete high school on time and to pursue higher education. The Ford Motor Company Fund program targets high schools with a significant Latino student population and brings Ford Fund educational initiatives and partnerships to a community to create a deep impact.

 

The Tour includes financial assistance through scholarships and grants; high energy, motivational student assemblies; and a contest in which thousands of students are invited to share their dreams. The Tour launched in 2012 with the Irving Independent School District and has visited 22 high schools in Miami, North Texas, and Chicago reaching nearly 30,000 students. During 2015, the Tour will visit four additional high schools in North Texas.
