The Board of Trustees is pleased to announce that the annual scholarship fund of the Board to support pre-service and in-service teachers attending the annual conference has been named in honor of Fritz Fischer, out-going Chair of the Board. In 2010, more than $5,000 was raised by the Board to support scholarships which was matched, dollar for dollar, by the South Carolina Humanities Council. This year, $7,500 has been pledged to match the funding from the Missouri Humanities Council. While all the scholarships have been awarded to deserving teachers this year, the Board intends this to be an annual campaign to support teacher attendance at this event.
