New - Academic Grants for Students |
|
It’s not uncommon to learn that students struggle with one or more subjects in school. In many cases, supplemental academic support can help a student overcome these struggles, re-engage learning, and restore personal confidence. For this reason, The Issaquah Schools Foundation invites students to apply for an Academic Support Grant today.
All Issaquah School District students K-12 are eligible to apply. This grant, in an amount up to $500/student, will be awarded to increase student accessibility to academic support services such as tutoring and other specialized academic assistance programs. Learn more and apply today: https://isfdn.org/academicgrants
Applications due June 4, 2021. Grant awardees will be notified in mid-June.
