About The Foundation
The Tekamah-Herman Public Schools Foundation now houses the funds that support over 100 scholarships per year. These scholarships now provide more than $150,000 in aid each year to graduates from the Tekamah-Herman Community Schools. Over $2,600,000 in aid has been granted since the Foundation was established.
Current graduates as well as past graduates are invited to apply.
Classroom Grants
For 2024 the Foundation has awarded the grant to the Tekamah-Herman Schools’ Playground Project that is in the works that will bring an Inclusive Playground structure to Tekamah. The playground will be a welcome addition to Tekamah and will be designed and suitable for children with and without disabilities.
Teachers may apply for many forms of grants through the Foundation. The grants come in many types, sizes, and formats. They are all intended to fund innovative projects that traditional school funding cannot support. We hope they encourage teachers to think in cutting edge ways and bring new vision to the classroom. It is a true privilege of the Tekamah-Herman Schools Foundation to fulfill grant requests. 2025 Grant Application
