“As a young teacher trying to improve my skills in the classroom and knowledge of my content area, I knew additional education was a must, but the scholarship money will lessen the financial strain. I have really enjoyed my classes at Columbus State University and have the knowledge I have gained in my classroom from the first class in January 2006. I truly feel that I have improved as a teacher in the past year and owe a debt of gratitude for the Education Foundation’s generosity. –Sarah Poole (7th Grade, Taylor Street Middle School)
