Student Connect Program Information/Criteria
Blackfoot Communications is excited to continue this important educational initiative to fulfill student needs and/or student closets as identified by school leaders in the public-school systems located within our rural service territories.
We know many local families experience financial difficulties with kids in schools, including the extra cost of school supplies, PE shoes, clothing, etc. Our Student Connection Fund has been created to fill a gap for those students with a one-time funding need up to $250. This is Blackfoot Communication's chance to step up with your help!
This program is open to public schools located within Blackfoot's Montana and Idaho rural cooperative service territories. Applications must be submitted by a school representative (i.e., Principal/Superintendent, Guidance Counselor, Teacher).
Blackfoot has provided grants totaling over $9,50 since 2016 to help our rural students in need with items such as school supplies, winter clothing, PE shoes, socks, and other related items.
The Student Connection Program will remain open from September 1st through May 31st of each School Year.
PLEASE NOTE FUNDS CANNOT BE USED TO PURCHASE CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR STUDENT(S).
If you are applying on behalf of students fundraising for the School's Close Up program, please use Blackfoot's general Community Support Application for the group of students.
