Grants are designed to fund educational opportunities for students that are not available through the school district's general budget. Classroom Grants are funded by the annual fundraising efforts of the Norfolk Public Schools Foundation. Learn more about the guidelines for Classroom Grants on the login page of the application portal.

- Margaret Robinson Dual Credit Certification Continuing Education Scholarships - Established in memory of Margaret Robinson, this scholarship program provides financial support for qualified applicants to further their education and become certified to teach Dual Credit Courses at Norfolk Senior High, providing additional opportunities for NPS students to take classes for college credit. This scholarship is for educators who have signed their letter of intent to return the following school year, have a clear path to teaching needed Dual Credit Courses at the Senior High, and plan to remain at NPS for three years following the completion of their scholarship funds. (If a recipient leaves NPS prior to the completion of the three years, a prorated payment back to the NPS Foundation will be required.) This scholarship is only available every other year.
- There are four scholarships available this year, each of which can support a teacher for up to 18 credit hours of college classes, getting them qualified to teach Dual Credit Courses, so long as they meet established criteria throughout their degree/endorsement. This criteria includes an approved timeline, acceptable grade updates, and a signed contract with the NPS Foundation.
If you have any question during the application process please do not hesitate to contact the Foundation Office.
