The Birnadine Mack Foundation

The Birnadine Mack Foundation was established in 1997 to award financial scholarships to active school personnel to help with furthering their education. Birnadine Mack was a former member and president of CSPERA for four years. Her teaching career was in Boulder, Colorado, where she served as a middle school teacher and active member of the Colorado Education Association and the National Education Association. CSPERA celebrated its fortieth anniversary when Ms. Mack was president.

Scholarships are awarded to a current school employee in each division: metro, northeastern, southern and western. The deadline each year for applications for the scholarships is April 1st. All school personnel are eligible to apply.
