Our Impact
Teacher Impact Grants
Teacher Impact Grants are awarded to educators in all of Marshall’s K-12 public and private schools. Grants are offered in October and March to applicants who seek financial support for objectives that enhance the learning of Marshall’s students.
These funds are made available through unrestricted donations made by alumni, community members, local organizations, and through our fundraising efforts and our business sponsors who advertise in the Marshall High School gymnasium.
Over the past 5 years, Pride in the Tiger Foundation has awarded over $300,000 in grants to Marshall’s public and private schools.
