We also offer educational grants to students who are residents of Southport (K - 12) who wish to explore their world through extracurricular educational opportunities. Small financial grants are available to help fund trips, special projects or summer programs that enhance positive learning experiences.

Southport residents over 18 who need assistance are eligible to apply for grants to help defray the cost of special programs, continuing education, vocational/job training or special school programs that lay outside of a regular academic curriculum. Assistance to meet the costs associated with the ability to apply or attend a course or obtain a job will also be considered, ie, transportation issues, proper clothing, internet access and other tech related obstacles.
