Encouraging higher education for greater lifetime success
College and career training costs keep rising, and many families in our community feel the strain. The Columbus Education Foundation steps in to bridge that gap. Whether a student dreams of attending college or trade school, we help make those goals achievable.
Every student in Columbus carries the potential to strengthen communities for generations. CEF helps turn that potential into opportunity by funding scholarships for graduating seniors and grants that support innovation in Columbus ISD classrooms.
The Columbus Education Foundation works hard to fulfill its mission of creating educational opportunities for Columbus Independent School District (CISD) students through scholarships and classroom grants.

Double the Impact. Double the Possibilities.
Columbus Education Foundation invites you to change lives for the better through our Pathway to Possibilities Matching Gift Campaign. Beginning in October 2025, all donations made through December 31, up to $50,000, will be matched dollar-for-dollar by a generous donor, doubling the impact and opening doors for Columbus ISD seniors pursuing careers in healthcare, mental health, and skilled trades.
The Pathway to Possibilities campaign aims to remove financial barriers for hardworking seniors, enabling them to continue their education and enter critical fields that strengthen the community. Will you help us reach our goal?
