Agenda Item Summary:
|
Two opportunities to join in supporting our students by contributing towards scholarships that help send our students in need to college.
|
|
Background:
|
More than 60 percent of families at T.C. Williams receive federal assistance for free or reduced-price meals. Half of all scholarship recipients are the first generation in their family to attend college. We know that scholarships from SFA often mean the difference between a student being able to afford college or not.
Since 1986, thanks to the generosity of the Alexandria community, the SFA has awarded more than $14.5 million in scholarships and sent more than 4,600 of Alexandria's students in need to college — students who might not otherwise have the chance to attend college.

Recommendation:
|
The Superintendent recommends the School Board review the opportunities available to help change the life of a student.
