Houston Endowment 2014 Jones Scholars named

Twelve Spring Branch ISD students have been named 2014 Jones Scholars by the Houston Endowment and now qualify for annual scholarships during their college years ahead. As Jones Scholars award winners, these high school seniors are eligible to receive up to $16,000 in scholarship funds toward a bachelor’s degree.

Jones Scholars are nominated by their high schools, and a Rotary Club of Houston committee then makes the final student selections based on academic achievement, economic need, leadership skills, community service and personal character.

Houston Endowment is the philanthropic foundation established by Jesse H. and Mary Gibbs Jones to improve the lives of all greater Houston residents through endowment contributions to local charitable groups and educational institutions. Since the Jones Scholars Program began in 1958, Houston Endowment has given almost $97 million to help send more than 11,000 area students to college.
