Erie 1 BOCES Educational Foundation Inc

We are a foundation formed to enhance the Erie 1 BOCES programs for students and adult learners. To date we have provided over 20 teacher mini grants and many scholarships for deserving students. We are so thankful to the many businesses and individuals who have helped us along our journey.

Our Mission is to provide financial support and resources, not otherwise available from regular budget sources or state or federal aid, for the benefit of the educational programs and staff activities offered by the BOCES.

• Fund scholarships for eligible students to attend BOCES adult Workforce Development programs; fund materials, supplies or equipment required for eligible students to participate in all BOCES programs.
• Fund scholarships for graduates of BOCES programs to attend post-secondary institutions in further preparation for competitive employment.
• Engage community support for new initiatives to keep BOCES programs current and state of the art.
• Foster relationships with former students of BOCES programs and their parents, as well as business, industry and government partners.
