AEF, ASF Award Scholarships to Aldine ISD Graduating Seniors

Disponible en:

The Aldine Education Foundation (AEF) and Aldine Scholarship Foundation (ASF) awarded scholarships to 139 Aldine ISD seniors during an awards ceremony on Thursday, May 23 at Davis High School.

The two non-profit foundations have joined forces to enable more Aldine ISD students to receive financial support for college, to provide additional choices for college and to award grants to teachers for innovative classroom instruction.

AEF, incorporated in 2012, will become the umbrella organization for two funds: the ASF Fund, now under the direction of the Aldine Scholarship Foundation Board, and the AEF general fund. ASF’s permanent endowment totaling more than $2 million will continue to be managed by the Lone Star College System. When the merger of AEF and ASF is complete, students and teachers will have greater resources and opportunities, and donors will have more choices to support student success in Aldine ISD.

During the ceremony, ASF awarded 104 scholarships to AISD senior, the most it has ever awarded in its 23-year history.
