Our Values
Living our Community Values
Monroe County has long-valued education. Whether it's proudly flying the Maverick flag on game day, volunteering in a elementary classroom or helping with homework in the evenings - we're proud to support our schools and students.
We recognize that learning never stops and our support can't either. That's why the community created the Monroe County Education Foundation to assist all Monroe County residents to achieve their educational ambitions.
Since 2004, the Monroe County Education Foundation has provided 184 scholarships worth $170,400 to support county residents pursue their educational goals. The foundation offers scholarships for all county residents, not just college-bound high school seniors. Adults and people wishing to gain vocational training are also encouraged to apply.
