THE BUDDING IVEY FOUNDATION has set up a SCHOLARSHIP FUND with the Public Education Foundation to create opportunities for success.
The Public Education Foundation administers a variety of scholarships to help students pursue higher educational goals. In many cases, the scholarships make college and university experience accessible to students who might not otherwise dream of a college education.
Budding Ivey criteria is based on students pursuing a career in the STEM field. The Public Education Foundation provides professional assistance, and sponsors an awards recognition luncheon in May for all donors and students.
