The Elizabeth Education Foundation is a non-profit organization with the mission of enhancing the educational process and opportunities for all students, teachers, employees, parents, and community members in the Elizabeth School District. To this end, we are offering two $1000.00 scholarships to graduating seniors of Elizabeth High School. The scholarships will be in the form of a reimbursement for tuition at either a college or vocational school for the beginning of the student’s second semester and based on verification of enrollment. Redemption policies for scholarships will be provided when awarded. Scholarships will be awarded in April at the EHS Spring Awards Ceremony.
