Student Legacy Scholarship Fund
PiP has created a Legacy Scholarship Fund for graduating students that will last for years to come...
Imagine Parents In Partnership (PiP) is a 501c3 non-profit, volunteer organization that serves the students, parents, teachers and administration of Imagine International Academy of North Texas (IIANT), a young International Baccalaureate (IB) World School located in McKinney, Texas.
IIANT graduated its first high school class in 2016. Through generous donations, PiP raised $2,500 and awarded modest financial gifts for college expenses to selected recipients that year. It also retained a portion of the funds to seed a sustainable program for future graduating classes.
The PiP Student Legacy Scholarship Fund is not a formal endowment fund and is maintained through ongoing donations and fundraising efforts of Parents in Partnership. Donations are considered temporary restricted funds that are maintained to benefit each graduating class. Donations specifically for the Student Legacy Scholarship Fund are tax deductible and are fully applied toward funds awarded to students.
