This event will help us reach our annual fundraising goals, and your donation will directly benefit Education First's scholarship programs.
Founded in 1995, Education First believes that higher education is critical to enhancing one's life and community. We are a unique scholarship program in that we focus primarily on the character, commitment, and vision of the students; test score and class ranking receive much less attention. Our scholars face significant life challenges and are often from disadvantaged backgrounds. The support that we provide aids them in the pursuit of a better life.
In Austin, Education First awards scholarships to exceptional students at Johnston, Reagan, and Travis High School. We also administer scholarship programs in Denver, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Seattle. Since 1996, Education First has awarded over $200,000 through its unique scholarship program.
Ticket price online: $20/person, $35/couple
Ticket price at-the-door: $25/person, $40/couple
Hope to see you there! If you are unable to attend the event but would like to make a contribution to Education First, please visit:
