Each year, the CCS Education Foundation awards scholarships to students through an application process. We are thankful to the many donors who establish scholarships to support our students' academic success. All applications must be turned in to Theresa Fisher, scholarship coordinator, Carrollton High School Career Center. Scholarship recipients are announced each spring at the CCS Education Foundation Scholarship Breakfast, usually held in late April.

SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

Scholarship Policies and Procedures

In 2021, the foundation awarded grants totaling $20,000 to 49 teacher recipients. Grants were awarded to 11 at Carrollton High School, eight at Carrollton Middle, nine at Carrollton Upper Elementary, 18 at Carrollton Elementary and three to student support programs. Some of the more unique projects funded this year include the launch of a new Flying Club at CHS, grants for a small business startup for the Community Based Instruction classes, and the “Loom Weaving Lesson” for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) classes at CES.

The Instructional Excellence Grant program began in 1994 with five teachers sharing $2,000 in funding. Since then, more than $260,000 has been awarded over the past two decades, providing teachers a financial outlet to support instructional projects or programs that are not funded through traditional sources.

Foundation continues its mission to provide field trip experiences for students.

In 2022, the foundation awarded seven grants specifically for field trip experiences for this school year, with awards reflecting a combined total of almost $8,000. 

In 2021, the foundation approved $7,000 to support field trip experiences in the district's four schools. The funding supported a grade-level field trip for students at CES to visit the Atlanta Zoo, scholarships for students to attend the 6th grade Washington, D.C. field trip, an experience for the entire 7th and 8th grade to see a performance of the Calpulli Dance Theatre, two language experience field trips for CJHS, and a scholarship for performing arts students to attend a broadway immersion experience in New York City.
