The important thing is
not to stop questioning.

Education
“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” —Benjamin Franklin
FEC is committed to funding programs and initiatives which support the education of our citizens – mind, body and spirit – at every age. It is widely maintained that a college degree can add as much as a million dollars to a person’s lifetime earnings — and cut by half the risk of long-term unemployment. That’s part of why Foundations of East Chicago has awarded more than $2.3 million in scholarships to hundreds of East Chicago students. We have invested in East Chicago’s public, parochial and charter schools, including $5.5 million in books, and building and grounds’ improvement. It is not enough to send young people to college. We have to prepare them to succeed once they get there.
