DALLAS, April 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Education is
Freedom (EIF), Dallas' leading
college, career and life-readiness provider, will hold its fourth
annual fundraiser and scholarship reception – An Evening
with the Stars – on Wednesday April
24, from 7-10 p.m. at the

opportunity to recognize and reward EIF Scholars from 21 Dallas ISD
schools by investing in their future. At last year's

will honor 130 Dallas ISD seniors in the EIF Scholars
Program who will be recognized and will receive
personalized donor sponsored scholarships.
Event chair is Dr. Froswa' Booker-Drew, Vice President of
Community Affairs & Strategic Alliances at the State Fair of
Texas.

of the impact it has made on thousands of students' lives in

Stars will celebrate some of Dallas
ISD's brightest seniors and will provide them with crucial
financial assistance as they begin their collegiate journeys. I am
thrilled to be a part of this event with EIF!" - Dr. Froswa'
Booker-Drew
