Since 1995, the Foundation has awarded over $1.2 million in student scholarships and over $3,000,000 in grants to teachers, staff scholarships, funding for innovative classroom initiatives, and other Foundation programs. In the 2020-21 school year, DPSF awarded $149,977 in teacher and school-wide grants to 101 teachers; $15,004 in staff scholarships to 22 recipients and $140,970 in scholarships to 183 graduating seniors.
The Denton Public School Foundation creates opportunities for students, staff and teachers. We invest in teaching materials and experiences that are not funded by other Denton ISD monies as well as awarding scholarships for teachers, staff and graduating seniors. Currently, we are seeking funds to go towards these efforts, as well as helping to grow the Foundation's capabilities to meet even more of these needs. in 2020-21 while we were successful in awarding funding to 123 teachers and staff and 183 graduating seniors, we had applications from 208 teachers and staff and just under 600 seniors, leaving many unfunded. Our goal is to raise funds to give a greater percentage of awards to both groups.
The Foundation is also in need of volunteers to work with its fundraising initiatives and outreach, key elements in more successfully meeting our overall goals.
The mission of the Denton Public School Foundation is to raise and distribute funds for the benefit of staff and students of the Denton Independent School District. Funds shall be distributed as grants-to-teachers, staff scholarships, and student scholarships, and other programs. To accomplish its mission, the Foundation's goals are: * To encourage academic excellence; * To facilitate innovative educational activities * To promote continued community involvement in the schools
The Denton Public School Foundation is always looking for new scholarship funders and grant funders to support the students of Denton ISD.
