CoServ presented a gift of $35,000 to the Frisco Education Foundation in April in support of the Foundation's mission.
FEF will use the funds to award college scholarships to graduating Frisco ISD seniors majoring in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), as well as grants to teachers in STEM fields and to support other Foundation programs focusing on STEM.
“We are so grateful to CoServ for their continued support," said Allison Miller, director of the Frisco Education Foundation. "They are stepping up for our kids and investing in their future by investing in their present. Together, we are truly making a difference.”
A founding partner of FEF, CoServ has been generously supporting FEF since 1999. In addition to this $35,000 donation, CoServ has a named endowment with the Foundation totaling $255,000. Revenue from the CoServ Endowment is used by the Frisco Education Foundation to award grants to new teachers to assist them in setting up their classroom.
CoServ also gives their time and talent to the students of FISD through their participation in Foundation programs and activities such as Mindbender Academy, the Teamwork & Technology program at the Student Opportunity Center and by engaging with students and staff during STEM nights at FISD schools.
“CoServ is committed to supporting the educational growth of our 17 school districts including our largest, the Frisco Independent School District,” said Vicki Sargent, director of community relations at CoServ.
“Education is the cornerstone of our collective communities,” she said. "Education Foundations exist to provide those things that school districts just can't do within their regular budgets. EFs fund those ‘wow’ projects that truly make an impactful difference in the lives of students. The CoServ Charitable Foundation supports these endeavors with funds to help students and teachers achieve their full potential.”
