Cumberland County Education Foundation

Educational Mini Grants

Educational Mini Grants are a favorite among Cumberland County teachers with the Foundation awarding approximately $25,000 annually. The program provides merit grants of up to $1,500 for teachers who have developed innovative classroom programs using special equipment, manipulatives, or creative instructional materials.

Fall 2011 Mini Grants will be awarded in January. The Grant Committee will be meeting before the Christmas Holiday to choose the awardees.

GRANT APPLICATION

The Bill Harrison Scholarship Fund was established in 2008 by the former Superintendent Bill Harrison in partnership with the Cumberland County Education Foundation to assist a Cumberland County Schools graduate who plans to pursue a career in teaching. Dr. Harrison intends that this scholarship allow a local graduate, perhaps a first-generation college student, to achieve his/her goal of becoming a teacher, who will then give back by teaching for CCS upon graduation. Priority will be given to first-generation college students, and graduates from Fuller Performance Learning Center and Cross Creek Early College High School.
