The Education Foundation of Somerset ISD is currently preparing an updated website that will be introduced in the coming weeks.

This update is part of a broader effort to ensure our digital presence clearly reflects our mission, supports transparency, and provides partner organizations with accurate, accessible information. During this transition period, all Foundation operations remain fully active. There will be no interruption to our programs, communications, or ongoing relationships.

The current website will remain live and fully functional until the updated site is formally launched. All existing contact methods, application processes, and communication channels will remain unchanged throughout this period.

We appreciate the continued support and engagement of organizations that partner with us to expand educational opportunities through grants and scholarships. If you require information, documentation, or clarification while the website update is underway, we encourage you to reach out directly.

For interim information or inquiries, please contact us through our existing communication channels.

Thank you for your continued partnership and trust.
