Our mission... to promote excellence in education and encourage classroom innovation by providing grants in academics and the arts to teachers in the public schools in Tippecanoe County.We Believe:~ in a quality education for every student.~ that by providing resources that create opportunities for innovative classroom programs and valuable student and teacher experiences, we can improve the quality of life for all constituents in Tippecanoe County.~ cooperation and collaboration among the public school corporations is critical to maximizing the use of our resources and facilities and in offering quality educational experiences to all students.In 1985, the three public school corporations in the county (Lafayette School Corporation, Tippecanoe School Corporation and West Lafayette Community School Corporation) began talks about forming a not-for-profit organization that could raise private funds for public school teachers. The Public Schools Foundation of Tippecanoe County, Inc. was formed later that same year, and the creation of our Seeds for Excellence grant program soon followed. In 1987, the first teacher grants were awarded. Since that time, more than $550,000 has been awarded to local educators. Hundreds of teachers have been inspired by the opportunity and resources we provide, and thousands of students and their families have benefited from projects funded by PSFTC.We rely on financial support from individuals and businesses in the Greater Lafayette community. We also host special events designed to bring the community together in support of public education. In addition, we receive a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Indiana Committed to Education license plates.
