The Bremen Education Foundation (BEF), a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting students and classrooms at Bremen City Schools, proudly awarded three senior scholarships during a special ceremony held this week. These scholarships recognize exceptional students at Bremen High School who exemplify leadership, academic excellence, and a strong commitment to furthering their education.
This year alone, the Bremen Education Foundation has distributed $26,000 in classroom grants, launched a new SAT prep program at Bremen High School, financially supported educational field trips, and funded countless initiatives that enrich the lives of Bremen students. “There are just too many things to mention that the Bremen Education Foundation supports in our school system,” said the Foundation’s Director, Christina Hightower. “I am proud to lead this amazing organization that continues to grow so our students can thrive.”
The BEF thanks its generous monthly and annual donors for making these life-changing opportunities possible.
