Ideal Applicant
Students seeking renewable college or technical-school scholarships and accredited higher-education institutions or scholarship administrators that can receive or manage scholarship awards aligned with the foundation's Texas-focused eligibility.
Good Fit
- • Applicant is a Texas resident student or an institution administering scholarships for Texas students.
- • Request is explicitly for college or technical-school scholarship support (renewable scholarships favored).
- • Application follows the Frost Bank-hosted portal instructions and deadlines.
- • Clear documentation of student eligibility and enrollment status is provided.
Geography
Observed giving is heavily Texas-focused, with roughly 85% of dollars to Texas recipients, but grants also reached recipients in several other states across the latest year.
Recipient Variety
The latest year included 44 distinct recipients and the three-year history shows dozens of independent scholarship payments to both individual students and multiple colleges, indicating a broad recipient set for this vehicle.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of openness includes a public online application portal and application instructions hosted by Frost Bank, and the latest year showed all 44 grantees as new recipients, so unfamiliar applicants plausibly can access awards.
