Employee Grants and Scholarships
Each year the EMS ISD Education Foundation continues its mission of supporting programs that assist in achieving academic excellence. Grants and scholarships for employees help in the development of solutions to enrich and maximize the quality of education.
Employee Scholarships are also awarded that support teachers in pursuing college degrees or certifications that will enhance their skills to benefit the students of the EMS ISD.
Educational grants and scholarships equip teachers with additional tools to achieve these goals. The awarded grants provide funding for additional approaches that can spark a student’s imagination, engage them, and ultimately elevate their participation in all subjects.
