Supporting College Completion
& Career Readiness

CREEED works with state and regional education leaders to build a stronger college-to-career pipeline and ensure more students are prepared for our region’s in-demand professions. We are creating programs and supporting efforts to remove barriers to college completion and increase postsecondary attainment for all students in the region.

Sylvia Hopp San Elizario College Scholarship
The Sylvia Hopp Scholarship Fund was established in 2017 to honor former San Elizario ISD Superintendent Sylvia Hopp. By 2025, the Fund will award a total of eight $2,500 scholarships to graduates from San Elizario High School to help them cover tuition and other costs associated with attending and completing college.

The Sylvia Hopp Scholarship is one of many ways that CREEED is working with schools across the region to reduce the barriers to college and increase post-secondary attainment for all El Paso students. By increasing the number of college graduates in our region, we position them for success in our workforce and the regional economy.

Past awardees include:

  • 2023: Elias Chavez
  • 2022: Iliana Vigil
  • 2021: Eduardo Romero Jr.
  • 2020: Joselyn Torres
  • 2019: Maria Cano
  • 2018: Angelica Jasso
EXCELENCIA SCHOLARSHIP FOR FUTURE EDUCATORS

The Excelencia Scholarship for Future Educators was established in 2024 to expand CREEED’s efforts to attract, support and develop future excellent educators in the El Paso region. CREEED will annually award a one-time $2,500 scholarship to eight local high school seniors planning to pursue a degree in education. By supporting the financial needs of future teachers, CREEED hopes to meaningfully contribute to the development of passionate and dedicated educators committed to excellence who will shape the future of our community.

The Excelencia Scholarship for Future Educators is part of CREEED’s ongoing commitment to college completion and career readiness for all El Paso County students. By reducing the barriers to college for students who want to become the best educators, we are positioning them for success in their careers and in our classrooms.
