Hindman Settlement School is pleased to announce it has received approval of a $40,000 grant from the Berea College Appalachian Fund for its 2010 Summer Tutoring Program for children with learning differences. The funds will provide scholarship assistance for children whose families are unable to cover the full cost of tuition.
The 29th Annual Summer Tutoring Program will be held from June 14 through July 23, 2010 on the campus of Hindman Settlement School. The six-week program provides intensive tutoring in reading and math for students with dyslexic characteristics. Students must be evaluated prior to enrollment. Evaluations are conducted monthly at Hindman Settlement School.
The Berea College Appalachian Fund is one of the Settlement School’s Annual Fund Partners and has provided more than $450,000 in grants to the Settlement during the past 60 years. Hindman Settlement School has been affiliated with the Appalachian Fund since the early 1950s when the fund was established through a gift from Herbert Faber and Ruth McGurk Faber. The Fund has supported nonprofits working to improve the general education, health and physical well being of people living in the Appalachian Mountains and surrounding areas.
