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.
