What is Texas Scholars?
Texas Scholars – High School and Beyond is an initiative of Texas Business and Education Coalition (TBEC). It is a community-based program through which volunteers and educators work together to motivate students to take a more purposeful approach in high school, and plan for and work toward a career of their choosing after high school.

“The Texas Scholars program works to motivate students to excel and aim beyond minimum standards. By doing so, this unique program prepares our high school students – not just for college, but for life. All Texans benefit when our students can meet the challenges of rigorous coursework and are provided a strong foundation to compete in tomorrow’s competitive global workforce."
