Creative Classroom Grants

Valuing our Public Schools

TCSEF Creative Classroom Grants

Now more than ever is a critical time to focus on the value of our public schools. By serving our students, teachers, and administrators, we provide a way for people to invest in the value of education.

Many programs, activities and educational opportunities are surpassed by many funding revenues. We work with our schools to fund programs that would otherwise be eliminated. These programs are important assets because they help create globally prepared students, that will now have a higher rate of success in the ever changing 21st century.

TCSEF helps promote and solicit contributions and distribute funds as a supplement resource to teachers and staff of Transylvania County Schools. All teachers, staff and administration of TCS can apply for a TCSEF grant at the beginning of each school year. Grants are selected by a committee of TCSEF Board Members and awarded as a resource to maintain, advance and enrich public education in our county’s public school system.
