Prekindergarten

Being ready to learn helps kids get the most out of school. The N.C. Pre-K program serves four-year-old children who are at risk of falling behind their peers as they prepare for kindergarten. Thanks to lottery funds, 76 children in Davie County received a free, academic pre-school experience last year.
College Scholarships

Financial Aid

School Transportation

Just like students need a place to learn, they also need a safe way to get to school.

Last year, Davie County received over $66,468 to help cover the cost of school transportation.
School Construction
$740,075
Supported school construction and repair and renovation projects. Every dollar raised by the lottery is one less that must come from other sources such as property taxes.
