The Foundation for Orange County Public Schools is creating an endowment fund to honor Dr. Barbara M. Jenkins. A lifelong learner with the heart of a teacher,  Dr. Jenkins announced her retirement after 10 years as Superintendent of Orange County Public Schools.

Drawing inspiration from her desire to teach from an early age, her stellar 30-year career in public education in Orange County, and her dedication to strengthening the career pipeline for others who wish to teach, the Superintendent's Teaching Scholarship will be awarded each year to graduating OCPS seniors, with a preference for those who are the first generation in their families to attend college, and then for those who will pursue a degree in Education.

Please join us and honor Dr. Jenkins by contributing to the Superintendent's Scholarship Endowment below.

Contributions to the Superintendent's Scholarship Endowment can be made at any time and will be fully tax deductible in accordance with the law.  You can give via cash, check (payable to FOCPS) or credit card, in one payment or multiple installments throughout the school year. Checks should be mailed to the Foundation for Orange County Public Schools, 445 West Amelia Street, Orlando, FL 32801.  In the memo section, please write “Superintendent's Scholarship Endowment.”
