My dad's a veteran and we're trying to find college scholarships I might be eligible for because of that. Does anyone know about scholarships in Texas that are aimed specifically at children of veterans?
A few scholarship opportunities in Texas for children of veterans include the Hazlewood Act and the UT Military Scholarships.
The Hazlewood Act is an exemption from tuition fees for dependent children of Texas veterans. It can provide up to 150 hours of tuition exemption, but it's important to understand that it does not cover any other fees or living expenses.
The various military scholarships offered by the University of Texas can help cover some costs for children of veterans. Scholarship amounts vary, but they can make a significant dent in tuition fees.
These are just a few examples, and you should also consider reaching out to the financial aid offices at the Texas colleges you are interested in. They may have additional resources or specific scholarships for children of veterans. Additionally, resources like Appily or local veteran organizations might offer further scholarship opportunities. Always remember to check the eligibility requirements and application process for each scholarship program. Good luck with your search!
