Access to Opportunities
SoWashCo CARES Education Foundation is committed to providing access to opportunities and removing the barriers to access.

Financial Assistance

We provide financial assistance for Drivers Education, ACT Prep, and enrichment activities. We also help with fees for field trips, and even things like helping a family purchase spirit wear for their student.
Mental Health

SoWashCo CARES Education Foundation provides financial assistance to students seeking mental health services through generous support from the Woodbury Rotary Club . This funding allows us to help uninsured and underinsured families pay for copays and deductibles.
After School Programming

Marathon Petroleum Corporation supports our free after school programming at several schools including Crestview Elementary, Newport Elementary, Pullman Elementary and Woodbury Elementary Schools.
Scholarships

SoWashCo CARES Education Foundation manages the Marge and Otto Schmaltz Endowment, for Park High School students to seek post-secondary vocational training. We also administer several other scholarships for students to pursue post-secondary education including our own SoWashCo CARES Education Foundation Scholarship.
Transportation

Transportation is a huge barrier for many in our community. SoWashCo CARES Education Foundation provides Uber/Lyft cards to families so they can get where they need to be.
