Community connection
EIF is dedicated not only to serving students in middle school and high school but also in their communities. To reach these communities, we utilize our EIF Mobile program in addition to partnering with vital community organizations.
EIF Mobile
An EIF Mobile unit, fitted with computer technology, internet capabilities, and expert advisors, travels to communities to give students, parents, and community members the opportunity to:
- Complete post-secondary and financial aid applications
- Create résumés
- Explore careers
- Register for the ACT/SAT
- Receive answers to their post-secondary education questions and concerns

By making EIF services more convenient and accessible to the public, we’re committed to expanding our reach – serving more students and their families across a larger geographic area. Taking EIF on the road promotes higher education in North Texas and gives us the opportunity to assist students in lower income communities who may otherwise lack access to the resources we provide.
The long-term goal? Expand the geographic footprint of the program and increase the number of traditionally underserved young people attending and graduating from post-secondary education institutions and enjoying rewarding careers. Our vision is to evolve the EIF Mobile initiative into an enduring national campaign that provides more general community outreach – linking local residents to essential social services, organizations, and educational resources.
