Become a Sponsor

The Montgomery County Public Schools Educational Foundation is continuing to seek sponsors beyond the 2012 State of the Schools to benefit MCPS students. Proceeds will go to support the mission of the Foundation, particularly, the Achieving Collegiate Excellence and Success (ACES) program.

ACES is a collaboration among MCPS, Montgomery College and the Universities at Shady Grove to increase college enrollment and completion for students underrepresented in higher education. To help students realize the dream of higher education, the Foundation has established a scholarship fund for students in the ACES program.

Philanthropic organizations, government agencies, corporations, or individuals that would like to make a donation should visit the MCPS Educational Foundation website or contact Ms. Yolanda Pruitt, executive director of the Foundation, by email or by telephone at 301-279-3432.
