Over the past eight years, the Hendersonville Chamber Foundation has donated approximately $117,000 to support teachers through the School Improvement Awards. The Hendersonville Chamber Foundation believes that by supporting teachers and their extraordinary classroom projects, the result will be inspired children with an enhanced desire to learn.
Additionally in 2008, Aegis Sciences Corporation funded two $2,500 awards that focused on exceptional programs in the areas of science, and Hendersonville Utility District funded a $2,500 cooperative award.
COMPASS is proud to support K-12 schools through the monies provided by the Hendersonville Chamber Foundation. The School Improvement Awards are another venue for COMPASS to involve and assist the private sector in expanding educational opportunities and encourage educational achievement.
Who Is Eligible?
Teachers from public or private K-12 schools in Hendersonville, schools that are members of the Hendersonville Chamber, and schools that serve children from Hendersonville are eligible to apply. Teachers may apply individually for an award up to $500, OR two or more teachers can apply for a cooperative award of up to $2,500.
