The Scholarship Committee will make its selections from those applications which meet the following criteria and include the required materials: ♦ U.S. Citizen; ♦ Student graduating from a Texas high school no later than June 2015; ♦ Student achieving a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher (out of a possible 4.0); ♦ Student planning to attend a Texas college or university by the Fall of 2015; ♦ A completed application postmarked no later than March 15, 2015, including a current transcript ♦ A letter of acceptance from a Texas college or university where student has been accepted. ♦ Copy of student’s SAR (Student Aid Report). Please note--special consideration will be given to students who will be pursuing a college degree in fields of study which are of particular interest to telecommunications (such as math, business, education, technology, engineering, and computer science, etc.). The courses of study in high school, extra- curricular/civic activities and demonstrated leadership will also be considered. In addition, special consideration
