Every year, the CCS Education Foundation grants scholarships to graduating seniors via a rigorous application process. We express our gratitude to the numerous donors who establish these scholarships, providing vital support for our students’ academic achievements. Applications open in January, and scholarship recipients are publicly announced each spring during the CCS Education Foundation Scholarship Breakfast, typically held in late April. For additional scholarship details, please feel free to reach out to us at ccsedfoundation@carrolltoncityschools.net.

In 2023, the Foundation significantly enriched student learning outside the classroom by allocating more than $80,000 in field trip funding, made possible by a generous donation for this purpose. Thirteen unique experiences across various destinations were approved. These trips included visits to Chattanooga, TN, Zoo Atlanta, Walt Disney World, New York City, the Georgia Aquarium, Truist Park, Washington, DC, and Jekyll Island, amongst others. Additionally, students had the opportunity to engage in floating classroom experience on the West Point Lake, enhancing their understanding of ecology.
