Purpose:
The South Jefferson Teacher's Association Foundation Fund was established in 1989 as a means to provide recognition and financial assistance for students who wish to attend enrichment activities which a sponsoring teacher feels will enhance the students’ experience at South Jefferson in our regular academic or extra-curricular programs.
Criteria:
- Any student in Grades K-12, who is presently enrolled in the South Jefferson Central School District, is eligible to apply for this award.
- The program must be deemed beneficial to the student's educational experience.
- Priority to one-time or once a year activities will be given over continued activities.
- Programs may include but are not limited to, academics, fine arts, leadership, cultural and sports-related activities.
- Requests involving monthly or yearly memberships or dues, or uniforms will not be given consideration.
- Organized Group Trips which are already partially financed through organized fundraising activities will not be given consideration.
- Due to legal restrictions, Church-related programs will not be given consideration.
Application Process and Presentation of Awards:
- The deadline for application submissions is June 16, 2023.
- A member of the Foundation Fund committee will reach out to the applicant if more information is needed to process the award.
- All applications must have a sponsoring teacher or coach who is associated with the student at the time of the application. Faculty and staff cannot sponsor their own children.
