The Howard Hughes Corporation is pleased to award 30 college scholarships to recent local high school graduates from Bridgeland High School, The John Cooper School, Montgomery High School, Oak Ridge High School, Tomball High School, Waller High School, Willis High School, The Woodlands Christian Academy, The Woodlands College Park High School, The Woodlands High School and to Lone Star College students.
Over 410 scholarships have been awarded to graduating seniors and Lone Star College students through an educational funding initiative launched in the 1980s which The Howard Hughes Corporation has continued to support.
The scholarships awarded to recent graduates include educational scholarships as well as two Executive Club scholarships in partnership with Howard Hughes and its largest office tenants to help support tomorrow’s leaders from our community. Scholarships were awarded in the memories of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the late Gerald D. Irons, Sr., a Hometown Hero in The Woodlands who was committed to education.
Six of the 30 college scholarships are awarded through an endowment at Lone Star College System, continuing a tradition which began in 1998.
“We believe in supporting scholars within our communities in the pursuit of higher education and are proud of the achievements and aspirations of these future leaders,” said Jim Carman, President, Houston Region for The Howard Hughes Corporation. “The awarding of scholarships is part of our HHCares initiative, in which we donate and volunteer to over 180 local causes of nonprofit organizations each year.”
