GIVING BACK
For the third year, East Butler Foundation - in partnership with the community - has continued
to implement the matching funds scholarship program. The goal of this project is to provide
scholarship money, real life experience, and community involvement that would represent their
individual preference. The Foundation sets aside a pre-determined amount of money and then
approaches area businesses or individuals to inquire if they would be interested in helping fund a
scholarship.
The criteria set for the scholarship is determined by the individual/business participating in the
matching fund scholarship program. The following scholarships were brought forward in 2019:
$1,000 Career Start Scholarship
$1,000 Fortik Scholarship
$500 Pekarek Ag Scholarship
$1,000 William Perk Family - Science, Math, and Engineering Scholarship
All scholarships were funded 50% from the Foundation and 50% from private donors. We thank the
community for their generosity and willingness to invest in our school and youth. If other individuals
are interested in developing a scholarship of your own criteria or with ideas that the Foundation has
developed, please contact us at ebutlerfoundation@ebutler.esu7.org so we can help facilitate your
generosity toward our students.
