Given the cuts that are coming in federal and state aid, it is more important than ever for UT student to access privately funded scholarships.  The Charlie Wootan Grant Program has $2 million for Texas students applying to/currently enrolled in 4-year institutions.  The application period is April 1-15, 2011.  The program is open to those who:

·         Are or will be undergraduates enrolled at least half time for fall 2011;

·         Demonstrate financial need as determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA); and

·         Are eligible to receive federal student aid funds.

We will have a link to this and other private scholarship opportunities on our website at http://www.texasscholarships.org.  Students are always welcome to visit that link in search of such scholarships.
