Texarkana ISD Education Foundation
The Texarkana ISD Education Foundation is an independent, non-profit charitable organization governed by a volunteer board of directors. The sole purpose of TISD EF is to benefit the Texarkana Independent School District. Since 2004, TISD EF has awarded scholarships to hundreds of Texas High School graduates. Additionally, the Foundation periodically awards innovative teaching grants to employees. The funds awarded go directly to the classroom and allow our teachers and other employees to implement exciting new educational programs.
