We work to ensure all Middle TN students have access to a high-quality education!

📩 Applicant or partner questions? Established in 2005 to provide merit- and need-based scholarships to Middle Tennessee students pursuing business-related degrees, the Scarlett Family Foundation quickly expanded to support education for Middle Tennessee students of all ages. In 2008, the Foundation awarded its first grants addressing other educational needs to Middle Tennessee-based non-profit organizations. Since then, grants addressing literacy, early-childhood development, K-12 business education and other educational innovations have helped strengthen the educational structure of Middle Tennessee and prepare students for success. Programs providing comprehensive after-school academic support such as tutoring, mentoring and college-access have also benefited from Foundation support. Fall 2015 marked scholarship expansion to include majors in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). As the Foundation continues to uncover new ways to improve education, it looks forward to many years of providing better educational opportunities for Middle Tennessee students of all ages.

What can we learn from schools achieving remarkable academic results?
At Nashville Classical Charter School East, third-grade reading proficiency rose from 40% four years ago to 81% this year, placing the school in the top 3% of Tennessee schools for third-grade ELA achievement.

Scarlett Family Foundation CEO Tara Scarlett recently shared her thoughts in The Tennessean on Nashville Classical’s academic gains and what its success can teach us about educational opportunity:

“Every Tennessee child deserves access to a school that challenges them, believes in them and prepares them for the future. The stronger our schools become, and the more opportunities parents have to choose the school that best fits their child, the stronger Tennessee’s future will be.”

Nashville Classical East is making impressive strides in student achievement! 👏
In a recent Tennessean opinion column, Scarlett Family Foundation CEO Tara Scarlett highlights Nashville Classical East’s remarkable TCAP results, including an 81.4% third-grade ELA proficiency rate, more than double the statewide average of 44.9%. These results underscore the importance of creating more great schools and ensuring families have access to educational options that meet their children’s needs.
