Thinking About Graduate School: Here’s What You Need To Know
Scholarship Winner: Eduardo Avila, Texas State University
It is with great pleasure that I am receiving this scholarship. As a low income, first generation college student, my journey through college has been met with intense anxiety and confusion. Though I’ve had to muddle my way through this process alone, I have received incredible assistance from my advisors and professors. I would like to thank the financial aid department at Lone Star College for encouraging me to apply, and motivating me to pursue a higher education degree. I have learned that perseverance, determination and commitment will take you far, and that everything will work itself out in the end. A big thank you to Innovate Educators, you have given me a helping hand on the path to success!

Top 10 Financial Literacy Questions
Scholarship Winner: Brook Trounge, Golden West College
When this scholarship opportunity was presented to me, I considered not attempting a submission because I thought that there was no chance for me to win, but I tried anyway. A little while later, I received news that I won! This experience taught me 2 lessons, and the first one is to believe in yourself more often because a lot of good opportunities can come from it. The second lesson I learned is that we should always try. If I hadn’t even attempted a submission for this scholarship, I wouldn’t even have the chance of winning, so as long as we try, there will be a chance! I’m so thankful for this scholarship because money is a huge factor when it comes to picking what college I would like to transfer to due to location. Thank you for this opportunity!!

Managing Stress Around Exams, Finals & Special Projects
Scholarship Winner: Athena Garza, Highland Community College
Winning the scholarship was super exciting! The ladies in Highlands Trio's program were definitely proud of me. Which is crazy to think about because all I did was make a Tik Tok video (which was fun) and got a scholarship for it. In a blur of essays and applications, it was refreshing being able apply for a scholarship in a unique way. I very much enjoy the arts and creativity and so it was really nice to be able to display that part of myself in an academic setting and get rewarded for it. I want to thank you again for choosing me as the winner, and even if I hadn't won, it was a fun process to be a part of!
