College ain't cheap, so apply for this scholarship

Last year, a Trammell Crow exec created a $1 million college scholarship fund for DISD students. Each year for five years, 10 college-bound seniors will receive $20,000 each from the Sulentic Family Foundation

The district is now accepting applications. Click the link for more info.

Scholarship recipients will be determined based strictly on three parameters:
* consistently demonstrated integrity;
* consistently demonstrated hard work;
* financial need.

The district says that if a recipient must work while attending college, the scholarship may be utilized on a semester-by-semester basis, so long as the student completes at least nine credit hours at an accredited college, university, or community college each semester, and maintains a minimum 2.5 GPA.

Applicants cannot be related to a Dallas ISD employee, or to a member of the district’s Board of Trustees.

Students may obtain a copy of the application here.
