The Miss Texas Scholarship Foundation is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit Organization established to support the Miss Texas Scholarship Organization. A state preliminary to the Miss America Organization, the Miss Texas Scholarship Organization was founded in 1937 to provide scholarship and leadership development opportunities to young women across Texas.
The Scholarship Foundation partners alongside individuals, businesses, universities and community organizations to support the higher education aspirations of titleholders as they serve their communities, and then as candidates as they compete for the state competition each year. ALL scholarships earned are sent directly to the college/university of their choice as an educational (tuition) award.
As a professional development program, we are proud to expand scholarship opportunities beyond competition-based awards. Miss Texas and Outstanding Teen titleholders serve their community through volunteer involvement during the year, and our organization provides academic and community-based scholarships, as well as scholarships involving their field of study, social impact and more. Each titleholder competes as a candidate in the Miss Texas Competition and is eligible for additional performance scholarships, as well as the opportunity to represent the organization as Miss Texas or Miss Texas’ Outstanding Teen for the year.
CATEGORIES OF SCHOLARSHIPS
Impact - Honorarium, Tribute, and Recognition scholarships that honor someone who made an impact in a certain field, service, or action. Traditionally these are named after the person or company being honored.

WHAT MAKES YOUR SCHOLARSHIP DONATION UNIQUE?
- It’s personal – You can personalize and designate your own scholarship. Rather than giving to a general fund where your monies are distributed among several scholarships or given specifically for one candidate who won a specific competition area, you can personalize your donation in honor of someone, designate a specific interest, field of study, or have the freedom to come up with your own category. Multiple candidates can apply for your specific scholarship, so it is personal to them. Whether it is named after you, your company, or in honor of someone else, you choose the specifics.
- It’s directed – 100% goes to the scholarship. 0% is used for expenses, salaries, overhead, etc. Every dollar you give will go to your scholarship.
- It’s designated - Your donation goes for continuing education, rather than for a car, apartment, crown, etc.
- It’s specific – It is based on what candidates are doing now, what they want to do in the future, or who they are as a person. It is not based on their performance at the competition, which often just goes to the “best” in a certain category. Note: we do offer competition-based scholarship awards if you are interested in that as well.
- It’s inclusive – every candidate is assured a scholarship by competing at the Miss Texas Competition.
