Endowment Scholarships
This form of scholarship is derived from money earned by way of gifts from others. A party to an endowment scholarship fund gives a certain amount of money to the institution who in turn earns money on that gift. The base monetary value is never touched, the "earned" money is then turned over to qualifying students to use towards furthering their education.

Additional scholarships funded through:
Adopt-A-Class: Dollars awarded are based on monies brought in by each graduating class throughout their 13 years of education, amount available for awarding varies with each class.
How to Adopt-A-Class:
- Choose a class(es) to adopt/sponsor, K-12.
- Adopt/sponsor the class(es) for the duration of their education (your child's class, grandchild's class, or friend's class).
- On annual Adopt-A-Class Day (typically in November) donate $1.00 for each learner in the class(es) you are adopting/sponsoring, this is a suggestion, but you can do more, or less. Anything helps and it goes directly towards their scholarships.
*** For EXAMPLE: You choose to adopt/sponsor this year's kindergarten class through the duration of their education at Northern Cass. If you donate $1.00 per learner per year and there are currently 50 learners in that class, you would be donating $50.00 per year.
Just think, if there are 50 learners in a class and they had 50 people adopt/sponsor their class they could raise $2,500 per year. Multiply the $2,500 times 13 years (K-12) and their class alone would have a total of $32,500 in their account by the time they are set to graduate. The total amount in their account is normally divided by a lessor number of learners as there is less money in the account, normally only 3-6 learners share from the funds. With larger amounts, say the $32,500 mentioned above, that alone would give each of the 50 learners access to $650.
Adopt-A-Class awards are in addition to any other scholarship(s) your learner may have received.
