Zavalla, Texas is a small town and underserved rural community that is home to only around six hundred people.

Many students have big dreams for their futures despite their humble beginnings, yet they lack meaningful access to higher education due to financial limitations, little knowledge or family experience in the world of academia, or other factors that hinder their ambition.

This scholarship aims to support students from Zavalla so they can overcome the barriers they face, accomplish their goals, and uplift their community.
