Eight District 202 high school juniors will be able to experience a dream this summer, with the help of a Horizon Grant from the Plainfield Foundation for Excellence that helps for summer learning enrichment experiences.
The Horizon Grant program awards students up to $1,000 each to help broaden their academic horizons and explore areas of interest through summer workshops, classes, field studies, internships or conferences during the summer before their senior year.
“The Horizon Grant is an exciting program for the Foundation because we get to help these wonderful students realize a dream, which could help them along the path to future achievement in their lives,” said Foundation for Excellence Chairperson Margie Bonuchi.
The Foundation for Excellence is a private organization that has been supporting District 202 schools, students and staff with grants, scholarships and financial support for special programming for 31 years.
Along with scholarships and grants, the Foundation has also supported special District 202 programs including a District Art Gallery, the Great Read community reading program and the 1847 Schoolhouse Restoration.
