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 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 over $70,000.00 to enhance their
classrooms.
