IP recently awarded 12 scholarships to high school graduates who will represent its 2021 Scholarship Class. The students and their families attended the party and networked with former scholarship recipients and members of IP’s Advisory Board. Including the 2021 Scholarship Class, IP has now awarded 100 scholarships to high school students in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and abroad, totaling more than $185,000.

“This was the first event we’ve hosted since the start of the pandemic, so it was really special to be able to see everyone in person and meet the students who will represent Impossible Possibilities. The 2021 class is our largest in program history, and we’re excited to play a small part in their future success.”

Scholarship recipients also have access to the organization’s “Scholarship Network,” a user-friendly platform that allows past and present recipients to connect with one another based on university, major and common interests. Recipients can also connect with members of the IP Advisory Board for potential mentorship, internship and employment opportunities. The AB is comprised of business professionals in the DFW area who share a common interest in education and who provide strategic and financial support.
