• Foundation awards $71,500 in scholarships to Class of 2020

    The EPISD Education Foundation awarded $71,500 in scholarships to 77 members of the Class of 2020. 

    The total amount includes: the foundation’s traditional scholarships, STARS Foundation Scholarships, EPISD Council of PTA Scholarships, the Amalia Muro Scholarship, the Genevieve Gonzalez Scholarship, the Coach Lou Robustelli and the Del Norte Lion’s Club Scholarship. The foundation last year began a partnership with the STARS Foundation, which matches the $1,000 foundation scholarship for students who have 12 credit hours of college. Eighteen EPISD seniors received this scholarship.

    “The EPISD Education Foundation is grateful for the commitment of our donors who understand the great need to support the Class of 2020 during this unprecedented time,” said foundation president Russell Wiggs. “We hope these scholarships help our recipients realize their college dreams.”
