STUDENTS RECEIVE SCHOLARSHIPS FROM HLSR

  

Seventy-nine students in the Houston area—including one from Washington County—received nearly $1.6 million in scholarships from the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo™, presented during the Area Go Texan Scholarship Banquet, last week.

Students were selected from 68 Area Go Texan counties.  One student from each county was awarded a $20,000 scholarship, along with the top student from each of the 11 districts.

The $20,000 Scholarship recipient from Washington County is Austin Derkowski, the son of Shawn and Carrie Derkowski.

Meanwhile, sixteen students in Washington County are going to college with help from the $24,000 in scholarships from the Washington County Go Texan Committee.  Each student will receive $1500.
