Two awards of $1,500 will go to two high school juniors in Harris County.

To nominate a student, please fill out the 2010 Student Scholarship Form. (please note: only one student nomination per school)

In recognition of the fine educators of Houston we also offer the Wilhelmina C. Robertson Excellence in Science or Mathematics Teaching Award. This award of $1,500 will go to one K-5th grade science or math teacher, and one 6th-12th grade science or math teacher who demonstrates significant ability and dedication to teaching in either discipline in Harris County.  You may nominate an outstanding teacher by filling out the 2010 Teaching Award Form.
