The Tahoe Truckee Excellence in Education Foundation endeavors to support quality public education within the Tahoe Truckee Unified School District. The Foundation raises money and acquires grants, resources and partnerships to benefit students, teachers and the Tahoe area educational community as a whole. Excellence in Education Grant Giving Program Excellence in Education's Grant Giving Program is funded by four major programs - Skiing for Schools, Dining for Schools, Golfing for Schools, and Endowment Fund interest, as well as by corporate and individual donations. Grant requests from teachers are reviewed semi-annually, through a competitive, selective application process. Grant monies support programs that are specifically designed for students: to promote their interest in learning, to give them hands-on learning experiences and to encourage quality academic performance. Students in every school within the District have benefited from these grants. Beginning in the academic year 1991 - 1992, seven grants were awarded for a total of $7,500. Over the past 17 years, the Foundation has awarded a total of 787 grants for a total value in excess of $1,622,000.
