“This is giving us a chance to invest in the leadership of the future.”
Four North East ISD students received $2,500 in college scholarships thanks to some generous ALIRians.
NEISD’s Academy of Learning in Retirement (ALIR) is an all-volunteer organization that fosters lifelong learning for seniors over the age of 50. Members contribute to the scholarship fund through their annual dues and donations throughout the year. This year, they collected $10,000 for our students.
Reagan High School senior Rease Bullock, MacArthur High School senior Samantha Osorio, Churchill High School senior Cecy Garcia and Madison High School senior Luke Anderson accepted their scholarships during a Tuesday, April 23 ceremony.
Rease plans to study biology at the University of Texas at Austin, focusing on pediatric dermatology. Samantha plans to attend Texas A&M University, where she will pursue international studies with a plan to become an immigration attorney. Cecy plans to attend the University of Texas at Austin, where she will study biology. Luke plans to attend West Texas A&M to study agriculture.
The ALIR Bill Howland Scholarship Award is named after a beloved member who had a passion for education and lifelong learning.
Thank you, ALIR, for supporting our students #theNEISDway!
