The Polar Bear Foundation provides grants for teachers and scholarships to students.

Grants

The Polar Bear Foundation was established in 2007 with the mission of “Shaping a Positive Future” for the students of the
Northern York County School District.  To accomplish this mission, the Foundation awards grants each year to teachers and
organizations to encourage creative classroom projects and support programs that otherwise would not be funded by the District’s
operations.
