Empowering Students Through Financial Support
Generous donors have made these scholarships possible, helping students reduce the financial barriers to education. The scholarships are awarded based on criteria such as academic merit, financial need, leadership abilities, and specific academic interests.
To qualify for need-based scholarships, applicants must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the Texas Application for State Financial Aid (TASFA) if they are not eligible for federal aid. These applications are essential for consideration in scholarships that require proof of financial need.
