Welcome to the website for the Terry Foundation Scholarship program at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). For the Fall semester of 2008, approximately 16 high school students who have been admitted to UTSA will be selected to receive Terry Scholarships to support their attendance at UTSA. Terry Scholarships are awarded to UTSA students who graduate from Texas high schools and demonstrate promise of future leadership. The goal of the Foundation is to assist these students in developing their future and the future of those around them.
The principal selection criteria are demonstrated potential and financial need. The Terry Foundation hopes that Terry Scholars will have a significant impact on the future leadership of the state and nation.
The amount of an award is determined by the Terry Foundation. The Foundation takes into account the student’s and parents’ financial resources and provides sufficient assistance beyond that to cover tuition, books, fees, and reasonable living expenses on campus. Renewal of the award beyond the first year is determined by the Foundation’s Board of Directors. Awards average $46,000 over a four-year period.
The postmark deadline for submitting a Terry Scholarship application for Fall 2008
is: February 1, 2008
