Faculty/Staff - Putnam City Schools Foundation

Through the generosity of several Putnam City patrons, the Foundation is able to offer scholarships to our staff in order to further their education.

Ralph Downs Scholarship - $500
Named for one of our former superintendents, the Downs Scholarship is awarded yearly to a faculty member who wishes to pursue graduate or undergraduate courses in administration or counseling.

Roberta Jo Lowe Scholarship - $1,000
Ms. Lowe was a beloved faculty member at Hefner Middle School. Her family established this scholarship to honor her memory and provide an opportunity for deserving faculty members to pursue graduate or undergraduate courses in a variety of subjects she loved.
