The Pine Bluff Area Community Foundation is a local nonprofit organization affiliated with the Arkansas Community Foundation. We care about the Pine Bluff Area and we believe that improving education is vital to the health and future prosperity of our community. The Pine Bluff Area Community Foundation recently set aside $20,000 in grant money and earmarked it for improving education. We previously announced an award of $2,500 to Arkansas Scholars. We are now pleased to announce the remaining grants. These are:
- $5,000 to TOPPS Inc., in partial support for the Teen Power program - an effort to improve math and science skills, and teach entrepreneurship to teen boys and girls.
|
- $5,000 to SEARK College in support of matching funds for technical education scholarships. The money will be matched by a federal Title III grant, and will be endowed.
|
- $5,000 to the Literacy Institute at the University of Arkansas Pine Bluff to pay student stipends to provide much-needed manpower to support five of the thirty literacy programs in Jefferson County.
|
- $2,500 to the Jefferson Co. Single Parent Scholarship fund to provide scholarships that will be matched 150% by the Arkansas Single parent Scholarship Fund.
