How Schools Pay for Scott's Program

Student Government/Activities

Often these funds are used for school assemblies and leadership training.

Title 1 (Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965)

Scott’s programs enhance school environment and promote academic achievement by helping students remove psychological and social barriers to success. Additionally, he works to provide students with many developmental assets (www.search-institute.org/assets). Contact your Title 1 coordinator to see if your desired program qualifies.

Staff Development Funds

Scott has worked with many staffs and faculties across the country doing programs that motivate and educate teachers. He can do as little as one presentation to as much as a full day of staff development. (Read about Scott’s Educator Programs) If brought in to work with teachers, Scott can do Student Programs on the same day at no additional charge.

Educational Materials

Scott offers a variety of student leadership and personal growth publications. (Read about books by Scott Greenberg.) With large quantity orders, Scott can discount or wave his speaking fees.

Alcohol, Tobacco & Chemical Abuse Funding

Scott has worked with many prevention organizations and schools, encouraging students to make healthy choices, and building their confidence to stand up to peer pressure. He also provides leadership training for prevention clubs and programs.

School Improvement Funding

Scott facilitates motivational programs, leadership training, school unity and tolerance programs, and freshmen/new student orientation events. Scott can also work with school leaders to develop programs that improve school climate.

PTSA/Parent Groups

Parent organizations have funded Scott’s programs many times. If his schedule allows, Scott will do an evening parent program at no additional charge.

Service Clubs

Scott’s fee has often been covered or subsidized by local community groups such as Kiwanis or Rotary. If his schedule allows, Scott will do a free program at their club meeting if they fund his program.

Vendors

To strengthen relationships with the schools for whom they provide products and services, many vendors are willing to sponsor programs. Ask for help from your soft drink providers, cap and gown/class ring salesmen, etc.

Sharing with other schools

If you are able to find another school to use Scott on the same day, his fee and travel expenses may be split between both schools. If you are able to help Scott get additional bookings on days before or after your event, you may receive a discount and split travel expenses with the other schools.

Bring Scott to your school during slow months or open days.

Traditionally, December and early January are slow for speakers. Scott may be willing to offer discounts when invited to speak during these times. He may also be willing to discount for last minute openings, or when he’s already in your area.
