We're raising $1,000,000 for Lawrence Township Kids!

GRANTS AND SCHOLARSHIPS

The Foundation’s Creative Classroom Grants program offers grants to teachers, students, parent groups, administrators and others who develop projects inspiring creativity and imagination in our kids. These are projects that would not be available for funding through public tax dollars yet which challenge students to learn and grow in significant ways.

Additionally, a number of scholarships have been established through the Foundation.  These scholarships allow Lawrence Township students to apply for funds supporting post-secondary education. Criteria vary based on the individual scholarship.

The Foundation accepts donations for any of these programs, as well as unrestricted gifts that allow funds to be directed to areas most in need. For more information on giving, contact the Foundation Office at 317-423-8300 or send an email with questions to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).

Success Stories

AVID Success

Designed to increase the number of students who enroll in four-year colleges, Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) is a national college-readiness system serving nearly 700 students in Lawrence Township. The Foundation has funded the program since 2000 with significant support from our partner, USA Funds. The AVID program successfully prepares high school students who are “in the middle” for post-secondary education. The program has a 98% high school graduation rate and a 90%-plus college acceptance rate. In 2011, AVID student, Emily Thomas graduated as one of Lawrence Township’s “Top 30” seniors – this is the 2nd consecutive year AVID has graduated a student in the “Top 30” of her class!
