Creative Classroom
Scholarships
The Roanoke County Schools Education
Foundation has earmarked funds for use by teachers in the county through
a classroom scholarship grant process. The purpose of the scholarship program
is to fund creative classroom projects that are not funded by usual school
budgets, but provide a unique and result-oriented learning experience for
students.
The Foundation is pleased to announce this year, recipients at 25 schools will receive 72 grants for a total of $19,065. A reception was held on Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 4:00 p.m. at the School's Administration building to award the grants.
