Project Description

Country: USA

Location: Fort Worth, TX

Total Budget: $3,000

Areas of Focus: Basic education and literacy, Economic and community development

Activity Type: Education: Scholarships

Summary: This scholarship project will support six (6) scholarships to students from two (2) East Fort Worth area high schools.


The long range focus of this project is to support general education as well as economic and community development in the East Fort Worth community our club serves. Short term, our goal is to support development of a college-going culture, college readiness, and increase the number of students going on to post-secondary education, among students at two Fort Worth ISD high schools with high percentages of Title I-eligible students. These schools are Dunbar High School and O.D. Wyatt High School.

This grant-funded project will support scholarships for six (6)students, three (3)from each high school to attend Tarrant County College in the Fall of 2016. Member of the Club's Youth Service Committee will work with the Principal and staff at each high school to promote the scholarships and counsel eligible students through the admission and enrollment process at TCC. School personnel will identify students apply for the scholarships. The Youth Service Committee will review applications, conduct interviews, select, and announce recipients and alternates in April 2016. Recipients are expected to complete the TCC registration process no later than June 1, 2016.

The Club will make payment to the TCCD Foundation no later than June 15, 2016. The TCCD Foundation, in turn, will make payment to the College. Students must be enrolled as of the 12th day of classes each semester to receive scholarship funding. In cases where students are not enrolled, funding will go to an alternate.
