This is something the State Fair of Texas has been doing since 1992 but you may not be aware. State Fair of Texas Youth Scholarship Program has awarded scholarships to more than 1,800 students for a total of more than $8.7 million.

Please share and pass this along to all seniors you may know that could be eligible – it’s not too late to submit your applications online!
