Hamman Foundation Scholarships

Each Spring, the George and Mary Josephine Hamman Foundation awards seventy (70) scholarships to Houston area high school seniors for undergraduate study. The award is $25,000, disbursed over four years (or until the student graduates, if earlier), provided the recipient conforms to the requirements set forth in the award. The recipient may select any major at any four year college or university in the United States.

Scholarship applications may be submitted during the student’s senior year in high school. Students may complete our scholarship forms online (see link below) after September 15th of their senior year.  Do not submit an application before you take the SAT or ACT.  To be eligible for the scholarship, you must have a minimum SAT composite score of 1000 (on the Math and Reading/Writing portions combined), and/or an ACT composite score of 21.  All SAT and/or ACT scores must be from the same test date.

A number of finalists will be selected from the applications received and will be invited for an interview. They will subsequently be notified in writing/email if they will or will not receive a Hamman Scholarship. If a student is not invited in for a personal interview by March 15 (THIS DATE HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO MARCH 31, due to issues created by FAFSA), they may assume that they are not a finalist and no correspondence will be forthcoming from the Foundation.

ELIGIBILITY:

1. High School Seniors after the start of their senior year.
2. Houston area high school seniors who attend schools or are homeschooled in the following eight counties: Brazoria, Chambers, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, Liberty, Montgomery or Waller.
3. Students who are citizens of the United States. Students with Permanent Resident status are not eligible.
4. The Scholarships are awarded based on academics and financial need.
