The Early Childhood Education Scholarship Initiative seeks to transform the lives of children who risk entering the public school system at an educational and behavioral deficit that will forever hamper their ability to learn and to succeed in school and in life. The Community Foundation’s goal is to make a difference in the lives of children by capitalizing upon the “Window of Opportunity.” In this phase of the Early Childhood Education Scholarship Initiative, scholarships are being provided in Davidson County, Tennessee. This initiative came to fruition through the dedicated work of civic leader Nelson Andrews.
