About SEEDS OF HOPE

Founders – Zach Lee (CEO of ARM Energy) and Sharon Lee (Former Principal of River Pines Elementary)

Mission and Values

Implementing a strict application process, the Seeds of Hope Foundation offers a generous tuition and books scholarship to underprivileged local high school graduates. We strive to “plant seeds of hope” into the lives of the children who otherwise may not have the opportunity.

The students we sponsor originate from two local elementary schools – River Pines Elementary and Lakeland Elementary which are school-wide Title I campuses with approximately 800 students in pre-kindergarten through 5th grade located in Humble ISD.

The student population is very diverse, resulting in 74% economically disadvantaged, 67% Hispanic, 23% African American 43% Limited English Proficient, 6% White. Both schools are low income campuses that unfortunatley results in higher student drop-out rates versus other local elementary schools. It is our passion to “Plant Seeds of Hope” for a bright future in all children who cross the threshold of both campuses.

The funds raised through the Foundation will be used to directly support the scholarship fund specifically designed for River Pines and Lakeland Elementary school students. Each of the students attending these schools will have the opportunity to embrace a better future and a more enriched life with a generous scholarship to a college or university.

JILLIAN HILL

"I want to thank the Seeds of Hope Foundation for their generosity as it has allowed me to pursue my collegiate dreams. This foundation has given me access to great education which will lead to great opportunities. It has allowed the recipients the benefit of being able to give our academic life our undivided attention as student debt is not an issue. Being accepted as a scholarship recipient made me more determined because I cannot fail those who saw my potential and decided to invest in my future."

LIZETH GARCIA

"Seeds of Hope has been a key component in my academic success these past four years. Because of this scholarship, I was able to minimize my financial stresses over academic resources. A lot of my time has been spent focusing on my studies instead of spending too much time trying to figure out how to pay for tuition and books. I could be sure every semester that my primary academic financial needs would be met so I could comfortably finish my Bachelors Degree at Sam Houston without debt. I am so very thankful for all the financial help I received and sincerely thank this organization for it all."
