The Lubbock ISD Foundation for Excellence (FFE) is a nonprofit public education foundation with the purpose of providing financial assistance to Lubbock ISD principals and teachers for creative, innovative academic projects not supported by school and/or district budgets, as well as for students whose activities relate to the students’ classroom academic performance. Priority is given to teachers and district-related requests.

The annual golf tournament is the only fundraiser for FFE. The 28th annual tournament will be held on Monday, May 17, 2027 at Hillcrest Country Club.

Please note, the Matthew Ryan Lowrie Memorial Scholarship and Patrick Cates Memorial Scholarships have been moved to the Community Foundation of West Texas. You can donate to those funds here/https://cfwtx.fcsuite.com/erp/donate or contact the Community Foundation of West Texas at (806)762-8061.
