Hey everyone, I'm a high school senior in Texas trying to line up some scholarships for college. Would love suggestions on where to look for scholarships specific to seniors. What are some opportunities out there?
Texas is home to a variety of scholarships for high school seniors. Below are a few examples to give you an idea of what's available:
1. Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) has a number of scholarships and grants available to Texas students. Especially notable is the Toward EXcellence, Access, and Success (TEXAS) Grant Program for students who show financial need.
2. The Mary E. Bivins Foundation Scholarships are available to students intending to pursue a career in Christian ministry.
3. Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Scholarships offer numerous scholarships for Texas residents, some of which are reserved specifically for seniors.
4. The George and Mary Josephine Hamman Foundation gives out seventy scholarships to high school seniors in the Houston area.
5. The Stars Scholarship Fund is for students from south and west Texas.
As with all scholarships, the deadlines, eligibility requirements, and application processes will vary, so you'll need to ensure you've got the specifics for each. You can also take advantage of Appily, a free resource that lets you search through a huge database of scholarships with customizable filters based on location, academic interests, and specific demographic information. Best of luck with your scholarship hunt!
