      <image:title>Story - Empower Schools Awarded $750,000 Grant from Greater Texas Foundation - Empower Schools is proud to announce a $750,000 grant from Greater Texas Foundation to support the expansion of Rural Pathway Excellence Partnerships (R-PEP) to three additional regions: Region 14, Region 1, and Region 16, and support broader efforts to spread the rural collaborative model.</image:title>
      <image:caption>While rural learners in Texas graduate from high school at higher rates than their urban peers, they remain less likely to enroll in postsecondary education. Awarded in the spring of 2025, this investment has already started to address that gap by supporting the implementation of new R-PEPs that will serve approximately 15 rural school districts, creating stronger college and career pathways for students in historically underserved communities.</image:caption>
