Texas TSA Annual Scholarships Opening Soon
Offered by Texas Technology Student Association
About This Scholarship
Texas TSA, the state association of the Technology Student Association, runs one of the richest scholarship slates of any state career and technical student organization. The headline award is the $10,000 W.A. Mayfield Memorial Scholarship, backed by $4,000 awards in memory of Al Seher and George "Big George" Howle, a $3,000 ATTE founding fathers scholarship, up to six $1,500 at-large Texas TSA scholarships, and a $1,000 award from the Career & Technical Association of Texas.
The 2026-27 application opens December 14, 2026, and closes February 19, 2027, at 11:59 PM CST. Eligibility runs through the chapter: applicants must be current TSA members graduating in the spring, and each chapter may submit only two students, so interested seniors should talk to their chapter advisor early.
For Texas STEM and engineering-track seniors active in TSA competitions, the chapter-nomination cap keeps the applicant pool small relative to the dollars on the table.
Eligibility
- Current Texas TSA member (TSA national dues are about $10 plus modest state/chapter dues)
- Graduating high school senior
- Nominated by your chapter — each chapter may only submit the names of two students
How To Apply
- Tell your TSA chapter advisor you want to be one of the chapter's two nominees
- Complete the application after it opens December 14, 2026
- Submit by February 19, 2027, at 11:59 PM CST
