Celebrating the Stars Among Us

This spring, Education is Freedom celebrated high-achieving scholars—students who had worked tirelessly against the odds—and placed them in the spotlight they deserved. More than 100 exceptional EIF Scholars from over 40 high schools across Cedar Hill, Dallas, DeSoto, Garland, Grand Prairie, Lancaster, and Mesquite ISDs were awarded scholarships ranging from $500 to $5,000. One Scholar was awarded EIF’s first-ever multiyear Hanan Ali Lacy “Carry the Torch” Scholarship.

Thanks to the generosity of sponsors and supporters, these EIF Scholars are now better positioned to pursue their college and career goals. Their investments helped remove financial barriers and opened doors to new opportunities for students across North Texas.

What An Evening with the Stars Looks Like


Interested in sponsoring a student scholarship?

EIF Scholars are students selected from each of the high schools we serve for their demonstration of leadership, character, and drive. These exceptional students participate throughout the school year in skill-building activities to prepare them for success in college, careers, and beyond.

With support from people like you, EIF Scholars will be able to begin their college journeys with reduced risk of becoming sidetracked by financial worry and debt. We have learned that even a $500 scholarship can make the difference between a student persisting through their first year of college and dropping out.

Your scholarship investment will help provide EIF Scholars with flexible funding to pay for expenses not otherwise covered by financial aid — such as transportation to college, books, supplies, and personal costs (toiletries, clothing, laundry, etc.).
