The Belton Educational Enrichment Foundation, founded in 1992, is an independent, community based, non-profit organization. The mission of the organization is to enhance the quality of education by engaging the community to provide grant funding, scholarships, and programs to help economically disadvantaged students. Grants are provided to teachers to stimulate innovation and excellence in education for the enrichment of our students; the scholarships ensure access to post-secondary education; and our programs for the economically disadvantaged students help with literacy and access to educational opportunities.
In May 2022, 157 scholarships totaling over $300,000 were awarded to graduating seniors from Belton High School and Belton New Tech @ Waskow and in December 2022, $100,000 innovative teacher grants were awarded impacting over 10,000K students. One hundred percent of our funding comes from private sources including individuals, corporations, and foundations. The Foundation is governed by an elected Board of Directors who represent various segments of the Belton community. The Board's primary purpose is to work together with the school district to ensure student success.
