-Student Scholarships

Over the past several years, the Holton Education Foundation has funded multiple student scholarships. The two year scholarships have grown from $1000 to $2000. Graduating Holton High School Seniors apply for the scholarships each year and can use these scholarships for college, trade school, or post-secondary training. These funds are applied directly to tuition costs having a direct impact on our student’s aspirations!

-Teacher Mini Grants

The Holton Education Foundation funds Teacher Mini Grants each year. Holton Public Schools teachers and staff complete an application for these mini grants that have been used to purchase classroom books, technoloogy, sewing club supplies, and equipment. These grants have also been used to support student field trips and experiences allowing for deeper learning connections and lifelong memories for our students
