Frenship ISD

The Frenship Employee Emergency Relief Fund (FEERF) was created to help Frenship families facing extreme financial burdens. FEERF is still helping District employees today. As for the student scholarships the Frenship Foundation provides, the criteria is slightly different than a typical scholarship. Often students are awarded financially through scholarships for athletic skills, test scores and grade point averages. However, the Foundation chooses to recognize students who exemplify exceptional character. In the spring of 2004, the Frenship Foundation organized an annual golf tournament-The Drive for Leaders-as a major fundraiser for the student scholarship program. Since the inception of these scholarships, Frenship graduates have been granted nearly $900,000. In 2012, the Frenship Foundation added the Foundation Denim and Diamonds Gala. Proceeds from this event directly impact teachers in the District who have shown innovative practices that may require additional funding to continue that endeavor. Since 2012, the Frenship Foundation has awarded approximately $300,000 to teacher grant winners. The Frenship Foundation also oversees the Alumni &a; Friends organization. Alumni &a; Friends have awarded four Fallen Tiger Memorial Scholarships since 2016. This scholarship fund was established to remember fellow students who are no longer with the Frenship family. This group also started awarding the Wolfforth Chamber of Commerce Teacher of the Year a cash prize as a way of saying &s;Thank You&s; to outstanding teachers that are working with students in the District. With the 501(c)(3) status, the Foundation can give teachers a tax credit for their annual donations to FEERF, as well as donors to the annual Drive for Leaders golf tournament and the Foundation Gala. © Copyright 2021 Frenship Foundation | 806-866-9541, ext 1211 | Casey Administration Building, 501 7th Street, Wolfforth TX 79382
