This morning I got the pleasure to interview High School seniors at Frisco High School for the Frisco Education Foundation. This is my favorite thing to do all year. It is my second year on the Foundation Board and I am so amazed on how polished and dynamic the students are. It is a great testament to our school system as well as supporting organizations that are enabling our students to become so extraordinary.
Some FAQs regarding the Foundation:
Q) How many scholarships will the Foundation award?
A) The Foundation received ~280 applications, while interviewing ~145 of the 280 that applied. The Foundation will be awarding ~62 scholarships in addition to the endowed and memorial/honor scholarships. Also being chosen from the FEF application process wil be those students receiving pass through scholarships from outside organizations, clubs, community members, booster groups, and corporations.
Q) What is the average amount of a scholarship?
A) An FEF scholarship can range anywhere from $500-6,000.
If you sit through a morning of interviews, you will quickly become passionate about the Foundation's cause as well as the need for additional resources. There are more students that deserve and need scholarship money to achieve their dreams than we can possibly help.
