Worthing Scholarship Fund
This organization is a private foundation that focuses on providing scholarships to support higher education. Its mission centers on enhancing educational opportunities for students, particularly those graduating from Houston schools, by funding their college expenses. The foundation primarily serves students attending accredited colleges and universities, with a strong emphasis on maintaining academic performance. It is based in Texas and has a notable commitment to supporting institutions within the state, although it also provides grants to colleges in other regions.

Ideal Applicant
Higher-education institutions or scholarship programs serving Houston-area public school graduates, and individual students who meet the foundation's scholarship criteria.
Good Fit
- • Administers or hosts scholarship funds for Houston public-school graduates.
- • Is an accredited college or university with capacity to accept restricted scholarship awards.
- • Can collect and report student grades and maintain full-time enrollment documentation.
- • Requests funding for student scholarships (not general operating support).
- • Has a clear mechanism to receive mailed application materials and a contact person.
Geography
Grants appear across about 15 states, but giving is heavily concentrated in Texas where roughly 65% of dollars went in the latest year.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 30 distinct recipients (with similar counts in prior years) and a mix of campuses and programs rather than a tiny closed set, indicating broad recipient variety for this foundation's size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of an application route exists (specific eligibility criteria, deadline, named contact, and submission instructions) and about 40% of recipients in the latest year were new, so unfamiliar applicants plausibly can access funding.
