STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP
In October 2017, CREEED established the Sylvia Hopp San Elizario College Scholarship. With a $20,000 commitment, $2,500 given annually through 2025, the scholarship provides one graduating senior from San Elizario school district with funds to help cover tuition or fees associated with attending and completing a post-secondary education.
After an illustrative career spanning 42 years in education, Sylvia Hopp retired in 2017 from her post as superintendent of San Elizario Independent School District. During her 17 years at San Elizario Independent School District - five of which she served as superintendent - Hopp helped spearhead important district initiatives aimed at closing education attainment gaps and bringing needed resources to the school district.
The goal of the scholarship is to encourage academic excellence and accomplishments in high school, with successful completion of a post-secondary education within six years of graduating from high school.
To be considered for the scholarships, students can self-nominate by submitting an application or be nominated by a teacher or administrator of the San Elizario High School or San Elizario School District by submitting an application on behalf of a student. A selection committee reviews and scores all submitted applications, and the scholarship recipient is announced in June of each year at San Elizario High School’s Rose Ceremony. Scholarships are open to any San Elizario graduating high school senior during their senior year. Scholarship awards are limited to cover tuition and fees and will be paid directly to the educational institution in the student's name.

“At CREEED, we are thinking holistically about how we support students along their education journey, starting as early as kindergarten and providing supports along the way through college,” said Eduardo Rodriguez, CREEED’s Executive Director. “Preparing students to obtain a college degree is one support, but also giving them the resources they need to obtain that degree is equally important. We are excited about the future college graduates that will benefit from the Sylvia Hopp San Elizario College Scholarship Fund.”

EDUCATOR SCHOLARSHIP
CREEED believes the earlier students are exposed to college opportunities, the more effectively the idea of college can be integrated into their lives and aspirations. One way to do this is to provide a head start on post-secondary core requirements, that is why CREEED supports the effort to expand the number of dual-credit courses being taught in our local schools.
To ensure the region has enough teachers credentialed to teach dual credit classes and early college high school courses, CREEED established the Accelerated Certification of Teachers (ACT) El Paso Scholarship. Through this program we partner with school districts in El Paso County to provide teachers with scholarships to help them complete the credentialing process needed to teach dual credit courses. Additional information on the ACT El Paso Scholarship can be found here.
