WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (March 20, 2025) – The Truliant Foundation announced today the recipients of its annual Education Grants for public schools serving Truliant Federal Credit Union member communities in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.
Twelve schools in Truliant communities are receiving grants for programs that support transformational education and student success in the classroom. The Truliant Foundation is distributing $45,000 to this year’s winners.
Now in its ninth year, the Education Grants program has provided more than $380,000 to school programs. It is intended to support educational programs for students in grades 6-12 by supplying up to $5,000 to public school teachers with unique ideas promoting student success in the classroom.
Berea Middle School in Greenville, S.C., was among this year’s winners. Its grant will support the “Empowering Students Through Media” project to create a quarterly student-led news show for the middle school. Grant funds will be used to purchase essential equipment like cameras, microphones, and editing software.
The winning Truliant Foundation programs focus on media, workforce skills, engineering, robotics, and creative expression. To enhance learning and development, they provide students with hands-on experiences, technology access, and community engagement.
“The Truliant Foundation is proud to support these schools in their innovative efforts to improve learning and success in the classroom,” said Atticus Simpson, executive director of the Truliant Foundation.
“We are consistently impressed by the high caliber of ideas presented by educators to provide different, creative and impactful learning programs for the students they serve.”
