Ritter Family Endowment Provides
Grant for Tipton County Schools
T ipton County Schools recently set a goal
to increase post-secondary education
participation among its graduates, and the
Ernest & Anna Ritter Family Endowment is part-
nering with the district as they pursue their mark.
A $24,300 grant from the Ernest & Anna
Ritter Family Endowment will allow Tipton
County Schools to purchase 45 computers that
will be used by the students to fill out the federal
application for free student aid (FAFSA) and
Tennessee Promise tuition assistance program
applications that are only available online.
“By investing in our youth, we’re investing
in the future of our community,” said Clay
Lavelle, Ritter manager of Plant and Tech-
nical Operations and Tipton County Schools
alumnus. “Our students deserve an oppor-
tunity to pursue an education and Ritter is
honored to give them a tool to help them find
an affordable way to do so.”
The district graduates about 850 high school
students each year, and 60 percent participate
in some form of post-secondary education, be
it four-year institutions, community colleges or
technical colleges.
Tipton County is striving to see that number grow
by 3 percent each year for the next three years.
Many Tipton County students have limited
access to technology, which hampers their
ability to apply for scholarships, grants and
other forms of financial aid. The district is
hopeful the computers purchased with the
Ritter Family Endowment grant will eliminate
a major barrier that prevents students from
furthering their education.
