MISSION

The La Crescent-Hokah School District 300 Foundation supports student learning by providing independently funded financial support for both staff and students enrolled in the district.

OVERVIEW

The La Crescent-Hokah School District 300 Foundation is a vibrant, 501 (c) 3 charitable organization with the specific mission of positively impacting students and staff in the District. The Foundation continues to grow each day thanks to the generous support from citizens, community organizations, school district staff, local businesses, and major corporate partners.

The Foundation was created with a simple vision: to give staff an extra edge by helping to create exciting and innovative programs that enhance traditional school learning experiences and provide scholarships for students as they pursue higher education.

The La Crescent-Hokah School District 300 Foundation provides support annually in two specific areas:

  • Apple Grants serve as an incentive for staff to go the extra mile for students in the District. Grants can be for projects and materials not covered by annual operating dollars, such as book bags, enrichment experiences, teaching and learning activities, as well as various other much-needed items

  • Scholarships  

    • La Crescent-Hokah High School Counseling Office Scholarship application page

    • Students who receive a scholarship should follow the below instructions:

      • Submit a copy of your transcripts to evidence successful completion of the first semester as a full-time student.  

      • Along with the transcripts, also provide your student identification number and the address at your school to which the tuition payments will be sent.  The check issued to your school will indicate your student identification number to credit the scholarship payment to your account correctly. 

      • Include your phone number or email address so that the District 300 Foundation Treasurer can contact you with any questions regarding your scholarship payment.

      • Please submit your request by email to Dave Fredrickson, packfan@acegroup.cc, or by mail to School District 300 Foundation, PO Box 34, La Crescent, MN 55947.  If submitting by email, please include your transcripts as an attachment.

Major Foundation events are:

  • Spring Fundraiser
