Scholarships


Tejas provides scholarships

Several years ago, the Texas Society produced quilts under the program "Stitching for Scholarships" to raise money for our scholarships. Tejas has its own scholarship program, where we give scholarships to deserving high school seniors and/or college students to help with college expenses. To get more information about our scholarships, contact the webmaster at webmaster@tejasdar.org.
