Waller - Hempstead Community Scholarship

Introduction

The Life Assistance Ministries “Waller-Hempstead Community Scholarship” was established in 2008 with a donation by a Cypress couple who desired to help hard working people to gain job and education skills so that they may be a productive part of the community.

Purpose

The purpose of this scholarship is to provide financial assistance for tuition and/or books to those individuals attending an accredited vocational school, community college, junior college, or university in pursuit of a certificate, Associate Degree or Bachelors Degree who might not otherwise be able to attend a higher education program.

Who Can Apply

 Any resident of or graduate of Waller Independent School District (WISD) or Hempstead Independent School District (HISD) who is pursuing an Associates or Bachelor’s Degree at a Community College or University; or who is pursuing a Job Certification Program/License at a Technical School on a full time basis. This scholarship is not for students who are in the top 10% of their graduating class.

Award

 Up to three (3) equal dollar scholarships, based on funds available, not to exceed $2,500, will be awarded annually. Students who are awarded a scholarship are eligible to reapply each year. Scholarship monies must be used in the school year in which they are awarded. If a student who receives a scholarship takes time off from school, they forfeit the scholarship and must reapply in the next application cycle for an additional award. The forfeited scholarship will count toward the maximum number of scholarships a student can receive.
