- Recipients will attend universities like UT Austin and TCU.
This year, eleven graduating high school seniors were awarded $2,000 each through the Project SHARE Scholarship program. This marks a significant increase, as the scholarship amount has doubled from $1,000 to $2,000 for 2026. The program, established in 1985 to aid families with utility payments, expanded in 2005 to support higher education.
Students were selected for their academic achievements, extracurricular involvement, and a submitted essay. A key criterion for applicants is residency within households that receive electric, water, or wastewater services from the utility board. This year's scholars are set to attend prestigious institutions including UT Austin, UT Rio Grande Valley, Washington University, and Texas Christian University.
