From my limited knowledge of IRS regulations, I think that would be OK. It sounds like a scholarship and probably would have to comply with IRS scholarship rules (nondiscriminatory, etc.). It would be worth consulting the school district's attorney to make sure all of the i's are dotted. If the local nonprofit is a 501c3, it could also simply award the scholarship itself, using the school to help make the selection.
