IP awarded 10 scholarships to high school graduates who will represent its 2022 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 2022 Scholarship Class, IP has now awarded 110 scholarships to high school students in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and abroad, totaling more than $210,000.

“We had a blast spending the afternoon with this year’s scholarship class in a fun, relaxed setting,” said co-founder Joshua Hernandez. “Everyone who came out had a great time, and we hope the students were able to meet some new friends and network with some great professionals on our Advisory Board.”

The students 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.
