Nike School Innovation Fund 2.0 Helps Prepare Oregon Students for College and Career

The Nike School Innovation Fund (NSIF) accelerates college and career readiness for Oregon’s students with an initial $1.5 million in direct grants to public high schools and school districts across Oregon.

Nike School Innovation Fund’s mission is to fuel excellence in education through innovation. Since 2007, NSIF has provided $9 million to support early learning and school leadership development in the Beaverton School District, Hillsboro School District and Portland Public Schools. NSIF has since expanded to support schools statewide. The NSIF College and Career Readiness Program aims to increase the number of students who graduate on time and prepare all students to succeed in high school and beyond.

“We are excited to partner with great teachers and principals to help all students achieve their dreams,” said Keith Houlemard, executive sponsor of NSIF, VP and GM of the Olympics at NIKE, Inc., and Beaverton parent.  “Public education impacts everyone in our community and our state. At Nike, we want to help build a team of amazing teachers, counselors and principals across this state who can support each other, and more importantly, support Oregon’s kids.”
Schools were selected for participation based on school readiness and support from both school and district leadership. Participating schools will receive:
  • Grants to support rigorous instruction and programming for all students with coaching and support from AVID (Advancement via Individual Determination) and other Nike School Innovation Fund consultants or programs
  • Grants to support best practice training at a professional development Summer Institute for at least eight teachers, counselors and principals
  • School leadership training
  • Program materials and support from Nike leaders in partnership with the Oregon-based EPIC (Educational Policy Improvement Center)
