The foundation, which provides funding to improve the health, education, and welfare of Lee and Wise County Virginia residents or their descendants, has awarded more than $38 million in scholarships.
The Slemp Foundation also awarded up to $20,000 for each of three years for K-12 teachers in Lee and Wise County to help nurture student career pathways in science, technology, engineering, arts/agriculture, math, and health professions.
Ten $1,000 grants will be awarded to MECC faculty to support equipment and instructional supplies for existing programming.
The application process for mini-grants will require each teacher recipient to provide at least a one or two-page description of the project and a detailed budget.
