The Education Foundation of STISD
The Education Foundation of South Texas ISD was established in 2004 to support the students of the district, and since that time, the organization has awarded over $600,000 in scholarships and enrichment grants.
The mission of the Education Foundation of South Texas ISD is to generate and distribute resources that provide and sustain opportunities for educational growth for the students of STISD.
Goals:
- Build community awareness of the Foundation
- Support STISD students' educational goals by allocating scholarships and summer enrichment grants
- Preserve and perpetuate the endowment by building community-wide partnerships

The Education Foundation of STISD is hosting its first-ever STISD Superintendent's Golf Scholarship Tournament on Saturday, May 10.
This event is a wonderful opportunity for the community to unite in support of STISD students and their educational goals. The funds raised will play a meaningful role in helping students pursue higher education and turn their dreams into realities.
