Who Can Apply:
- My dad instilled in me a strong work ethic. He grew up as one of 7 kids from an extremely poor family small town West Texas. He moved to East Texas to start his own business with $37 in his pocket. He always found a way to solve problems. He inspired the motto I live by which is “Everything is Figureoutable.” He was my champion and always had my back no matter what. I want to honor his legacy by helping kids like me achieve their dreams.
- After losing my mom at 10, my dad Curtis was my rock. He supported me emotionally and financially, helping me succeed in college and law school. Now, in his loving memory, I’ve created a scholarship for students like me who are raised in single-parent households or who have lost a parent.
- Any student who has lost a parent or who was raised by a single-parent is eligible to apply. They could be accepted to a 4- year or bachelor’s degree program or a high school student provided they have a clear vision for their future. Preference will be given to students with need, a strong work ethic and determination.
Submission: To apply answer the following prompt: Who in your life has supported you in your educational journey and how do you honor them as you strive toward your dreams? How has their support shaped you and driven you to be successful? How will you build on their support as you work to succeed in your goals? Why has this support been instrumental to you as a child who has lost a parent or grown up in a single- parent household?
