The LEF (Lewisville ISD Education Foundation) scholarship application is open. HBBC will award 3 Senior scholarships in the spring.

• Deadline is Jan. 5, 2024
• Seniors must be in good financial standing to be considered.
• A student is in good financial standing if he/she has no past due fees in Presto or is on schedule with their own payment plan established with Student Accounts.
• LEF is a one-stop application center for LISD. A Senior can apply for multiple scholarships (PTA, Band, another booster club in which he/she is involved).

In addition, LEF is looking for volunteers to read scholarship applications (you would read apps from the west side of LISD). Information to volunteer is also on their website.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
