Scholarships are considered gift aid that does not have to be paid
back. They are usually based on a student's academic performance,
special talent and/or financial need. Texas Southern University
participates in several different scholarship programs.
Texas Southern University has a commitment to academic
excellence. Thus, the objective of our scholarship program is to
attract students who have demonstrated extraordinary scholarly
efforts in high school. Final awards will be based on proof of
graduation and test scores, per official transcript of the student's
complete academic record. |
