The Austin Futures Endowment, managed by the Austin Community Foundation, awards up to $3,000 to graduating high school seniors from Bastrop, Burnet, Caldwell, Hays, Travis, or Williamson County who are entering their first year of college or trade school in Texas. Selection weighs financial need, a 2.5+ GPA, and a short personal statement about the student's goals and outlook. Students apply through the Foundation's single Universal Scholarship Application, which automatically matches them to this and dozens of other Central Texas funds.
