TG Team Funds Rising Star Scholarships

As part of its recent 20th Anniversary observances and celebrations, team members from Texas Guaranteed Student Loan Corporation (TG) donated their time and money to fund scholarships designed to help the most needy students fund their postsecondary education. The Rising Star Scholarship was designed to encourage students to borrow conservatively when funding their education. Four postsecondary Texas institutions were randomly selected to receive $1,000 each to award to a student with a zero Expected Family Contribution (EFC).

The institutions chosen from among the 107 entrants were:

• The Ocean Corporation Commercial Diver Training (proprietary in Houston);
• Our Lady of the Lake University of San Antonio (four-year private);
• Texas Woman's University (four-year public in Denton); and
• The University of Texas at Tyler (four-year public).

The awards were made to the institutions at a press conference commemorating TG's 20 years of service to Texas on Thursday, June 10, on the South Steps of the Texas Capitol. The selected schools are responsible for identifying eligible students from among those with zero EFC. Selected students will receive scholarship funds following the 10th class day of the semester for which they are receiving the funds.
