Horizon Education Grant
The Arras Foundation is committed to supporting educators and their work to create innovative learning opportunities for students. We want all students to thrive and reach their full potential.
The Horizon Education Grant promotes collaboration between educators, parents and students in shared projects and activities. Educators have the option to apply for two Horizon Education Grants during the school year, one $500 grant and one multi-educator grant up to $2,000.
The Youth Review Committee is the body responsible for reviewing and approving all grant applications. This committee provides an opportunity for students to get involved in community activity, explore the world of philanthropy, and aid in innovation within the school system. Students from the University of South Carolina Lancaster (USCL), Andrew Jackson, Buford, Indian Land, Lancaster, Great Falls, and Lewisville High Schools make up the Horizon Education Grant Youth Review Committee.
Horizon Youth Review Committee
Our Youth Review Committee reviews all submitted Horizon Education Grant applications and makes final funding decisions with guidance from Arras Foundation Trustees and staff. The committee is comprised of students at the six area high schools and USC-Lancaster. On a monthly basis, the Youth Review Committee is exposed to professional and leadership development opportunities, in addition to practice with grant making.
