About the HGPA Scholarship Program
The Houston GPA supports six universities with annual scholarships. Five of the supported universities also have endowed scholarship. These scholarships are awarded annually in November. Over the course of the 25+ year history of the chapter, the Houston GPA has been provided well over $500,000 in scholarships and assisted 250+ students in their academic efforts. The universities supported by the Houston GPA are:

In 2002, the Houston GPA established $25,000 endowed scholarships at five universities. The endowed scholarships have been increased twice since the initial endowment. Thus, the endowments presently each have a principal amount in excess of $45,000. Each university handles their endowments differently based upon their regulations and the endowment agreements between the chapter and the university. As a result the proceeds from the endowed scholarships are not uniform across the board but generally the endowed scholarship proceeds are expected to be approximately 4 - 5% of the endowed principal. It is the long term goal of the scholarship committee to eventually build the endowment funds to the level where they throw off enough funds to match the annual scholarship award.
