BECHS Students Tapped for Scholarships

The Greater Texas Foundation (GTF) has selected 22 Brownsville Early College High School seniors to participate in its Scholars Program at the University of Texas at Brownsville in the upcoming Fall semester. Only 30 GTF scholarships were available in the entire Rio Grande Valley. The GTF Scholars Program selection committee was so impressed with the BECHS model which prepares students for the rigors of higher education that the majority of the scholarships were awarded to BECHS students. GTF scholars receive supplemental funding for expenses that are not covered by any other financial aid up to $4,000 per year for two years. Additionally, recipients receive individualized academic support and personalized professional guidance.
