Grants & Scholarships
The Polar Bear Foundation's primary purpose is to strengthen the Northern community through providing grants for teachers and scholarships to graduating seniors.

Grants for Classrooms & Programs
Each year the PBF awards NOW grants and Program grants to teachers, staff, and school-based programs to support innovative ideas in academics, athletics, emotional wellness and the arts. NOW grants will be considered monthly at our board meetings. Program Grant applications will be considered in the fall and spring of each school year.
