This year six students (one from each school) in a graduating/or promoting class from local EastLake schools had the opportunity to receive a technology scholarship from the EEF. Students were invited to write an essay about their goals in life and why they think they deserve to win this scholarship. The foundation received 64 excellent applications from deserving students.
The EEF awarded five iPads to outstanding students in the promoting classes at each school and a laptop computer for one deserving graduating senior who began college this fall.
