Investing in Community Education
The Elmbrook Education Foundation supports the students at all 11 of the District's public schools through its Continuing Education Scholarship, Innovation Grant and Super Grant Programs. In addition, the Foundation has established an endowment held by the Waukesha County Community Foundation to provide a source of permanent support for Foundation programs.

In some cases, great students need a little encouragement to apply for scholarships. If you know of a student that always gives the best of themselves and/or continues to look for new ways to serve their community, consider nominating them for an EEF scholarship. Nominations can be sent via postal mail to P.O. Box 206, Brookfield 53008 or sent via email to elmbrookeducationfoundation@gmail.com.
Nominations can not be submitted by family members and are not required to apply for an EEF scholarship.
Nomination forms and additional information about the scholarship program can be found on the Scholarships page of the EEF web site.
