The
purpose of the Tower of Excellence Student Educational
Support Grants are to provide financial assistance
for classroom projects developed by teachers and students
in the public and private (k-12) Michigan City area school
systems and to promote the education of our young people
through educational projects.
Funding
for this program comes from the proceeds of the Eco-Fit
Challenge and Tower
Run and other fund raising events sponsored by Tower
a local nonprofit organization in LaPorte County.
Since the inception of the program sixteen years ago, teachers
have received approximately $67,000.00 to enhance their
classrooms.
