Kelly Engineering Resources (KER®), a technical staffing service of
Kelly Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: KELYA) (NASDAQ: KELYB), partnered
with the National Academy Foundation (NAF) to award grants to three
NAF engineering high school academies throughout the United States.
This is the fourth year that KER and NAF worked together to support
engineering academies.
Engineering Academies located in New Orleans, Miami, and Queens,
New York, each received a $2,000 grant to help fund a specific
school engineering project. To qualify, administrators from NAF
engineering high school academies completed an application
detailing a specific engineering project, including the impact the
project would have on a student's learning experience. Grant
proposals were reviewed by a panel of judges from Kelly Engineering
Resources and awarded to the three schools with projects that best
met the criteria of enhancing the current curriculum.
Winners for 2011, listed with their winning project, are:
- The Sara T. Reed High School / Academy of
Engineering, New Orleans, Louisiana
