The Richardson ISD Foundation is proud to support the next generation of leaders and learners. During the 2024–25 school year, we awarded $63,000 in scholarships to 55 students across the district, helping them pursue their dreams of higher education.

These scholarships recognize hard work, dedication, and the promise of each student’s future. By investing in our students today, we are empowering them to achieve tomorrow’s goals,whether that’s college, trade school, or other post-secondary opportunities.

We are inspired by the determination and achievements of every scholarship recipient and look forward to seeing all the incredible things they will accomplish.

Our students inspire us every day. Here’s what Abby, one  of our scholarship recipients shared about her goals, achievements, and how this support is helping them succeed:

Abby is now attending Texas Woman’s University Pursuing a Bachelor's of Sciences in Criminal Justice.

“The news of receiving this scholarship truly felt so relieving, I was very stressed out before I found out if I had received the scholarship as I still didn’t know how my family would pay what wasn’t covered by financial aid. This scholarship truly helped me secure my spot at university, and without it I probably wouldn’t have been able to leave home to continue my education. I am forever thankful for this amazing scholarship. It means so much to me and my family.”
