Representatives from Northwest Education Services (North Ed) and several higher educational institutions came together yesterday to announce the creation of the North Ed Foundation and the new scholarship opportunities colleges and universities have made available to students through the new nonprofit.
Financial resources for emergencies, scholarships to attend higher education and funding for expensive tools and equipment to support student learning or post-graduation employment are some of the needs that will be addressed by the newly established North Ed Foundation.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the North Ed Foundation seeks to address the diverse needs of students served by North Ed, the region’s intermediate school district spanning Antrim, Benzie, Grand Traverse, Kalkaska and Leelanau counties.
