The Joe Fund is named after Joseph S. Cerach, a former Littlebrook custodian. Joe’s vision was that ALL Littlebrook students have the opportunity to participate in extracurricular and summer activities, such as art classes and music programs, regardless of family income. In 1991, the Joe Fund was established to carry out Joe’s dream.
A Joe Fund scholarship is a financial award that is given directly to a community organization to completely or partially fund a student’s extracurricular activity. The Joe Fund partners with local youth organizations such as the Princeton Recreation Department, Princeton YWCA, Princeton Family YMCA, Princeton FC Soccer, Westminster Conservatory of Music, Art Collaborations and the Arts Council of Princeton.
In addition to providing scholarships for extracurricular activities during the school year, the Joe Fund also partners with the Princeton Housing Authority, Princeton Recreation Department and Princeton YWCA to offer summer camps for our students.
ANY Littlebrook student may apply for a Joe Fund scholarship. Please reach out to Jenny Walters (jenniferwalters@princetonk12.org) or Kami Woodson (Kamilahwoodson@princetonk12.org) for information.
The Joe Fund takes confidentiality very seriously. Only Mrs. Walters, Mrs. Woodson and Mr. Ramirez have access to the personal information provided by parents on the Joe Fund scholarship applications. However, once a scholarship is issued, we must share basic information with our partner organizations in order to enroll a child in a program. This information usually includes a child’s name, address, and parents’ contact information. Please note that our community partners are also held to a high standard of confidentiality within their own organizations and the expectation is that information is given only on an “as needed” basis.
Please contact Jenny Walters at 609-806-4250 or jenniferwalters@princetonk12.org for information about applying.
