The Prosper Education Foundation (PEF) is a crucial partner with Prosper ISD. The organization provides scholarships to graduating Seniors, instructional grants to educators, recognitions to educators through the Star Polisher program every month of the school year, and other support to Prosper ISD. Prosper is proud to have a community that supports both the school and the foundation. This is evidenced in many ways including the outpouring of support on North Texas Giving Day. PEF set a goal of $30,000 and shattered the goal when the community donated to raise more than $62,000 to PEF that day! PEF funds projects submitted by PISD teachers, counselors, and librarians that promote promising ideas that would benefit the students of Prosper ISD. This year, the foundation awarded more than $63,000 in grants for projects that can be implemented this school year. The class of 2020 received $274,750 and 324 scholarships from PEF
