Dear Irving Schools Foundation,

I plan to attend the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in Human Biology and then study to become a surgeon.  I was always taught each kind act should be repaid through another. And so with this scholarship as a promise, I promise to never stop working to help others, not only as a doctor, but as a kind person. There are so many ways I can say I am grateful to you all. 

 

Sincerely,

Establishing a Scholarship

Endowed Scholarships | Limited Term Scholarships

Endowed Scholarships:
An endowed scholarship is a wonderful way to establish a legacy. You determine the name of the endowed scholarship and you help set the criteria for selecting a deserving student to receive the award. The interest earned from your endowed scholarship fund is awarded each year in the form of a scholarship. The principal amount is never spent, thus ensuring the perpetuity of the scholarship and the legacy of giving for a lifetime.

The scholarships are awarded annually at the Breakfast With The Stars event held each spring. You will be seated with the recipient and their family at the breakfast.

The minimum amount required to establish an endowed scholarship is $12,500 which may be paid in a lump sum or over a four year period. A $625 scholarship will be awarded annually in perpetuity.  

In 2007 two new scholarships were endowed:

Judy Hammond Memorial Athletic Scholarship ($30,000) established in 2006 in memory of Judy. A graduate of Paul Keyes Elementary, Bowie Middle School and MacArthur High School, Judy was the IISD Athletic Secretary for 18 years. She was a loving wife, mother, sister and friend to so many in Irving.

Lauralee Hubbard Memorial Scholarship ($16,000)
Established in 2006 in memory of Lauralee Hubbard, mother of Irving Mayor, Honorable Herbert Gears. 

 

Please contact the Irving Schools Foundation for information on endowing a scholarship and making a difference to a child.

Limited Term Scholarships:
A limited term scholarship may be established at a minimum level of $625. 

In 2007, eight new scholarships were presented:

Baylor Medical Center at Irving Scholarship
Fernando Garcia Memorial Scholarship
Jack Singley Scholarship
Regina and George Story Academic Scholarship
Technology Leadership Council Scholarship
Verizon Hispanic Support Organization Scholarship
Women of Irving High Scholarship
Irving Schools Foundation Achievement Scholarship

 

Please contact the Irving Schools Foundation for information on establishing a limited term scholarship.  Your donation is an investment in the future. 

 

Dear Irving Schools Foundation,

Endowing me with this scholarship is even more special because Josiah dedicated his life to protecting the liberties of Americans, a freedom that most of us take for granted.  I am very grateful to be blessed as an American.  Serving one’s country is a duty should be instilled in every American, and I hope to contribute my life to serving the community in a professional, moral and dignified manner for the betterment of humanity.  I plan to attend the University of Texas at Arlington and major in Biology and then plan to attend medical school in Texas.  With your generous contribution, I am able to fulfill my academic dreams, which is to become a successful surgeon.

 

Sincerely,
Paul Nguyen
