    FIAH Scholarship
    My name is Tyley Sears, and I graduated as a high school senior in June of 2025. I am from Granbury, Texas, and I plan to pursue a career as an insurance agency owner or in an agriculture business. I completed over half of my associate's degree throughout high school, and I am looking forward to this next phase of life. I believe that by establishing a successful business, I can create job opportunities and contribute to the local economy in a meaningful way. Additionally, I am passionate about giving back to my community through volunteer work and supporting local causes that are important to me. From a young age my parents and I would volunteer at soup kitchens, make "survival kits" for homeless on the street, or even buy pizzas and hand them out to those in need. As a child I used to get frightened handing food out to strangers, but as I grew older, I realized the impact even small acts of kindness can have on someone's life. My dad especially showcased the importance of giving back and helping those less fortunate, which instilled in me a strong sense of social responsibility. This passion for generosity has continued to drive me to make a positive impact in my community and beyond. In the future I strive to be community driven and continue to find ways to give back and support those in need. I believe that by working together, we can create a more compassionate and caring society for everyone. I am committed to using my resources and skills to uplift others and make a difference in the world. Through volunteer work, donations, and advocacy, I hope to inspire others to join me in spreading kindness and making the world a better place for all. By coming together as a community, we can truly make a difference in the world and leave a legacy of compassion and support for future generations. Small and large acts of kindness can have a ripple effect, creating a positive impact that extends far beyond our immediate reach. I've had firsthand experience witnessing the power of collective action and the transformative effects it can have on individuals and communities. It is truly inspiring to see how a simple gesture of kindness can spark a chain reaction of goodwill and change lives for the better. I believe that each one of us has the power to make a difference, no matter how big or small our actions may seem. Whether it's volunteering at a local charity, helping a neighbor in need, or simply offering a kind word to someone who is struggling, every act of kindness has the potential to create a ripple effect of positivity. --- Attached is an image of what I spend my free time doing!

    Stephen "Mike" Flinders Agriculture and Animal Care Scholarship
    My name is Tyley Sears, and I have been involved in the agriculture world since the day I was born. I have been on the rodeo trail since I was five years old and riding horses before I could walk. I have helped Dad on the ranch the last few years, learning the value of hard work and dedication in caring for our animals and tending to our land. I am passionate about agriculture because it is not just a job or a hobby for me; it is a way of life that connects me to my roots and instills in me a deep sense of responsibility towards the environment and the animals under my care. My family owned a ranch before I was born; my great-great-grandfather homesteaded the land in a sod house. I feel a strong connection to the land and animals that have been a part of my family's legacy for generations, and I am committed to preserving and honoring that heritage. My father still owns the cattle brand that my family used all those years ago, despite countless offers to buy the brand from him. This symbolizes the importance of tradition and legacy in our family and serves as a reminder of the deep roots we have in agriculture and stewardship of the land. Having a strong interest in agriculture motivates me to keep learning and developing so that I can support its long-term viability and prosperity. By constantly seeking to expand my knowledge and skills, I am better equipped to adapt to the ever-changing demands of the industry and ensure the health and well-being of my animals and the land they graze on. Technology is ever-changing, which is why I am committed to staying up-to-date on the latest advancements in agricultural practices and equipment. This allows me to maximize efficiency and sustainability, ultimately contributing to the success of our operation for future generations. In doing so, I hope to not only carry on the traditions of my ancestors, but also to pave the way for a more sustainable and prosperous future for agriculture as a whole. In addition to agriculture being in my family for decades, I also know the feeling of how much time, energy, and effort goes into this line of work. Many hours in the saddle, times you feel so hungry you can't wait for your next meal, chapped lips from dust and sun, and a face full of dust and dirt. Despite the challenges, the satisfaction of seeing the fruits of your labor and knowing you are contributing to feeding people is unparalleled. It's a tough job, but one that I wouldn't trade for anything else.
    Iliana Arie Scholarship
    My name is Tyley Sears, and I grew up in a single-parent household raised in an environment that forced me to mature early. Despite the challenges, I am grateful for the strength and resilience I developed. Moving forward, I plan to use my experiences to support single-parent families and empower others facing similar circumstances. Due to my own experience , I understand the unique struggles and obstacles that single-parent households face. I grew up forty miles southwest of Fort Worth, Texas, in a small town called Granbury. My childhood seemed normal to me at the time, but looking back I realize the impact of growing up in a single-parent household. This upbringing has shaped my perspective and fueled my passion for helping others. Along with being an only child, I also had to take on additional responsibilities at a young age, which taught me independence and problem-solving skills. These experiences have made me empathetic towards the challenges that single parents and their children face. Despite the difficulties, I am grateful for the values and skills that growing up in a single-parent household instilled in me. I am determined to use my own experiences to make a positive impact and provide support to those in similar situations. Often times teens in single-parent households use it as an excuse for not achieving their full potential, but I want to show them that it is possible to overcome obstacles and succeed with hard work and determination. It is very important to find gratitude no matter your circumstance, as it can help shift your perspective and lead to a more positive outlook on life. By acknowledging the challenges but also recognizing the strengths gained from those experiences, we can empower ourselves and others to strive for success despite any obstacles. It is crucial to remember that our circumstances do not define us and that we have the power to create our own path and shape our own future. By staying focused on our goals and believing in ourselves, we can overcome any challenges that come our way. While my childhood could have been different, I would not change it. Growing up in a single-parent household shaped me into the person I am today. It instilled in me a sense of resilience and empathy that I carry with me in all aspects of my life. Despite the challenges, I am grateful for the lessons learned and the strength gained from my upbringing. I've learned the importance of finding gratitude in difficult circumstances and using them as opportunities for growth.
