INFORMATION

The Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority (GBRA) invites the high school seniors of the following 10 counties in GBRA’s service area: Caldwell, Calhoun, Comal, DeWitt, Hays, Kendall, Gonzales, Guadalupe, Refugio, and Victoria to apply to the GBRA Scholarship Program. Scholarship winners will receive up to $ 2500 awarded to their first semester of a four-year or two-year university, community college, technical or trade school.

If chosen as a recipient, scholarships will be awarded as a one-time tuition reimbursement to recipient or institution of choice. Recipients must show proof of payment made to the institution in order to receive their scholarship. If scholarship is to be paid directly to university/college, confirmation of the student’s enrollment at the institution of choice must be provided even if the school has not officially billed the student for classes. Recipients may attend any accredited 4-year or 2-year university, community college, technical or trade school. Recipients must be enrolled full time at 12 hours per semester. GBRA scholarships are awarded without regard to race, sex, gender, national origin, disability or religion.

ELIGIBILITY GUIDELINES

GBRA’s goal is to encourage and assist students to fulfill their educational endeavors. The following guidelines will be used to determine eligibility and to evaluate applications:

1. Graduating High School Seniors residing in GBRA’s 10-county service area (Caldwell, Calhoun, Comal, DeWitt, Hays, Kendall, Gonzales, Guadalupe, Refugio, and Victoria) are eligible to apply.
2. Applications will be reviewed and awarded by a selection committee chosen by GBRA.
3. In the event the scholarship recipient receives financial assistance from other sources that would constitute a full scholarship, the recipient shall notify the GBRA Scholarship Coordinator and relinquish rights to the scholarship. The scholarship shall then be awarded to the runner-up, if that applicant continues to meet all criteria.
