Foundation grants $200,000 to TWU

More scholarships will be available to Texas Woman’s University students — in particular those planning to teach math or science, community college transfer students and first-generation students — thanks to three grants totaling $200,000 from the Greater Texas Foundation.

The foundation’s math and science scholarship program has awarded the college $150,000 for students seeking teacher certification in math or science. Of these grants, $50,000 will be used for student scholarships, while $100,000 will establish an endowment for future student scholarships.

The foundation’s “Rising to the Challenge” scholarship program has given TWU $25,000 for scholarships for students who transfer from a community college and participate in leadership activities at TWU.
