The scholarship will be presented to graduating members of La Joya High School Senior Class. These scholarships will be in amounts of $500. They can be used to defray school expenses as students head on to college.
The scholarships will b be a constant reminder of Rebecca’s effort to promote reading at all ages. Rebecca was an avid reader who utilized literature to invoke in the students she taught that sense of discovery that seems to blur as life catches up with us. We want that moment to last as long as possible for each student.
Each student recommended for a scholarship will have to complete a questionnaire for award consideration. In addition, they must provide evidence of the following:
3.5 or better grade point average
Acceptance into an accredited institution of higher learning
Community and volunteer hours
Scholarships will be awarded depending on availability of funds.
