As the saying goes, “Everything is bigger in Texas” and that includes Scholarships!

In 2024 adults aged between 18-24 spend 186 minutes per day on a social media platform.   Yikes!!  Imagine if instead, you spent 10 minutes a day or more applying to scholarships….

Did you know that Texas has a Top 10% Scholarship Program?  The 80th Texas legislature created the Top 10% scholarship to encourage students who graduate in the top 10% of their high school class to attend a Texas public institution of higher education.  Qualifying students who submit the free application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or Texas Application for State Financial Aid (TASFA) by March 1 of their senior year, and have financial need are entitled to receive a $1500 scholarship if they enroll fulltime in a Texas public college or university in fall semester immediately following graduation from high school.

Here is a list of excellent scholarships for Texans. All of these and thousands more on the Imagine Scholarships site. That’s not all. We have videos and resources to make sure you know all of the short cuts and best chances for winning the scholarships you apply for.
