Empowering Our Dover Students To Soar!
"Our mission is to receive and administer charitable gifts that will enhance and support the educational and developmental opportunities of the Dover Area School District students and their communities."
About the Dover Eagle Foundation
The Dover Eagle Foundation was founded in 2009 as a non-profit 501©(3) organization to make grants to the Dover Area School District, its teachers or administrators for projects for the classroom, instructional, or other educational needs of the Dover Area School District or to supplement or enhance the educational programs and activities of the Dover Area School District for the benefit of its qualified students.
Student Scholarships
Each school year, the Foundation allocates 10% of its current working balance towards scholarships for Dover High School Seniors who are pursuing education beyond high school, whether that be at a trade school, 2-year, or 4-year degree program. Scholarship applications may be found at the Guidance Office and on this website. Once applications are completed, they should be submitted to the Guidance Office by the date listed on the application. The Foundation's scholarship committee will select the award recipients.
Teacher Grants
Each semester, the Foundation provides Dover teachers with the opportunity to apply for a grant. These grants are provided to teachers who would like to implement projects or programs that are not covered within the district's budget. It is our hope that teachers will use these grant opportunities to enrich the education and experiences of their students. Once the applications have been received, and the deadline has passed, the grant committee will select the recipients.
Community Events
The Dover Eagle Foundation could not exist without the support of our Dover community. Throughout the year, we hold various fundraisers and events in an effort to support our mission. It truly takes a community! We are always looking for volunteers to help keep the mission of the Foundation alive. If you have any interest in joining the Foundation or helping at an upcoming event, please let us know. We meet the first Wednesday of the month at 6pm. Join us!
