Presenter says Mission CISD Education Foundation scholarship helped them pursue college
Summary
A presenter told meeting attendees that Mission CISD’s Education Foundation scholarships helped them graduate with an associate degree, aided their dual‑enrollment pathway and saved money, and that a teacher coach, Aparicio, encouraged weekly scholarship applications.
A presenter told meeting attendees that scholarships from the Mission CISD Education Foundation provided financial and moral support that helped them graduate with an associate degree and continue their education.
The presenter said the foundation “supports Mission CISD students and and also faculty” and described the scholarships as evidence that “Mission CISD is supporting me,” adding that the recognition mattered to them as a student.
According to the presenter, they learned about the scholarship opportunities from a teacher coach, Aparicio, who pushed students to apply repeatedly: the presenter said, "by the end of the week we have to apply to a scholarship every week for six weeks" and that the coach advised focusing on one application at a time.
The presenter said they participated in a dual‑enrollment program and "graduated my associates because I always wanted to save money," adding that the scholarship helped them continue their education and reinforced their goal of financial prudence.
Closing their remarks, the presenter urged community support for the Education Foundation, saying "all of us through our generosity can support a cause right and I can't think of a better cause than to help children," and framed donations as a way to sustain student opportunities in Mission CISD.
The presenter’s testimony summarized personal experience with scholarships, recruitment by school staff, and the financial and motivational benefits that the foundation’s aid provided.
