The teachers and staff at Texans Can Academies have truly gone above and beyond for their hard working students. This past spring Texans Can Academies staff members contributed a whopping $40,000 to the student scholarship fund. The generous donations made by caring staff provided 34 students with academic scholarships for the 2020-2021 school year.
This term, scholarships were awarded based on campus recommendations and granted to students who showed academic achievement, leadership and a passion to continue their education. In this time of COVID-19 uncertainty it is important for students to feel supported in their educational endeavors, whether it be in person or virtually. Texans Can Academies is proud to be able to continue aiding their students in furthering their education.
Texans Can Academies upholds the mission to ensure students have all the skills and opportunities for a strong, sustainable career path and higher education. The dropout recovery and prevention schools offer students, aged 14 to 21, a second chance at earning their high school diploma instead of a General Education Development (GED). Texans Can Academies is additionally always looking to partner with individuals, companies and organizations for their scholarship matching programs with TCA employees.
