Thanks to the many generous supporters, the Pelican Education Foundation (PEF) has been providing grants and scholarships to the Klamath Falls City Schools for well over a decade. Last year, PEF awarded $7,000 to teachers for classroom enrichment projects and over $29,500 to graduating Klamath Union High School seniors for continued education scholarships. PEF has significantly grown its resources in the last several years and now manages over $280,000. The earnings from our assets are used to further our efforts in supporting the Klamath Falls City Schools and are also used for offering scholarships.
