Executive Director, Monica Boyer, Updates Us on CF Schools Foundation

College tuition keeps increasing in such large amounts it should be named College three-ition!  

Monica Boyer, the Executive Director of the Cedar Falls Schools Foundation, talked about the classroom excellence grants given to deserving senior students so that they can defray education costs going to institutions of higher learning.  

The foundation also helps with funding things like the new swimming pool going into the new Cedar Falls High School which they contributed $92,000.  Our Kiwanis Club has a self-sustaining scholarship fund with Cedar Falls Schools that provides monies for the High School seniors.

Holly Johnson Shares the Story of Hawkeye Community Scholarship Fund

 

Wednesday, July 14 - High school student track stars looking for scholarships have many hurdles to overcome.  Our Kiwanis Club provide scholarships to deserving students by setting up an Endowment Scholarship with Holly Johnson, who is the Executive Director of the Hawkeye Community Scholarship Fund.  We started the fund in 2010 with monies generated from our famous Kettlecorn sales.  Because of our generous yearly investments, we now have a self-sustaining investment for scholarships to give away to assist Hawkeye student educational needs.
