The Elizabeth Education Foundation (EEF) is pleased to announce the 2021 scholarship winners and STARS award recipients.

The STARS awards (Students Taking Accountability and Responsibility Seriously) are given to students nominated by their teachers for modeling responsible behavior, making good choices, spending time involved with clubs and organizations in school and the community, and being committed to learning, caring and helping their fellow students and school.

Scholarships for graduating seniors are awarded to students who are passionate about learning and caring for their family, school and community. They are focused on their current and continuing education, have received letters of recommendation, and have completed an essay.

The EEF is a self-funded organization. Income is generated by encouraging neighbors to shop with Amazon Smile, King Soopers loyalty cards, American Furniture Warehouse and Premium Auto-Glass. A portion of the purchases are then given to EEF as the shoppers’ designated charity. In addition, support can be given by purchasing Safeway cards, participating in monthly fundraising events and donating directly to the foundation.
