Sprint continues to help young people through their character education grant program

The 2010 character education grant program is scheduled to start Jan. 4 and run through Feb. 5, 2010.  The Sprint Character Education Grant Program awards Sprint Foundation grants to school districts and individual schools to fund resources that help and promote character education among K-12 students.  This is the third year for this program and it continues to award individual-school grants between $500 and $5,000 and school-district grants between $10,000 and $25,000.

“Character education is such a critical building block for our young people to become productive citizens,” said Debby Ballard, director of Community Affairs for Sprint. “But sadly, it’s an area that is woefully under-funded in many schools across the country. Through this program, the Sprint Foundation is able to provide teachers and administrators with the tools they need to develop and execute the character-education programs that will work in their classrooms.”
