Welcome!
An initiative of the Texas Business and Education Coalition, Texas Scholars encourages secondary students to enroll in challenging courses and to graduate under the Recommeneded High School Plan. UT Pan American supports the program by serving as a resource for school districts and business participants and providing incentives to students.
"The Texas Scholars program works to motivate students to excel and aim beyond minimum standards. By doing so, this unique program prepares our high school students -- not just for college, but for life. All Texans benefit when our students can meet the challenges of rigorous coursework and are provided a strong foundation to compete in tomorrow's competitive global workforce."- Rick Perry, Texas Governor
"The Texas Scholars program is a proven method for increasing academic performance. The program can dramatically impact the lives of students and their communities. I encourage all students and their families in Texas to consider participation in this worthy program." - George W. Bush, Unites States President
