H-E-B Scholarships
Scholarship Sponsored by Sports In Action
For the ninth consecutive year, H-E-B will award 15 high school seniors who participate in UIL competitions with a $2,000 scholarship in recognition of their community service and involvement in their communities.
Five students who compete in athletics (including cheer), five students who compete in music, and five more students who compete in academic events will be selected from the pool of applicants from across the state.
H-E-B will award each selected student with a $2,000 scholarship toward their college/university of choice. Recipients will be spotlighted during the 2027 UIL Texas Girls & Boys Basketball State Championships.
