Austin - Representative Harvey Hilderbran R-Kerrville awarded six scholarships to Hill Country students who will be graduating from high school this May.
Winners were chosen based on academic performance grade point average class ranking accomplishments and an essay question about a current issue to be addressed by the Legislature in the 81st session.
Representative Hilderbran established the Hilderbran Scholars Fund to provide financial assistance to students pursuing a degree at a college university or technical school of their choice. I established this Fund to help continue the effort to make higher education available to everyone Hilderbran said. These young people have worked hard to accomplish their goals and they deserve to be recognized.
Award winners for 2008 are Britany Phillips Tivy High School Kerrville; Caitlyn Talarico and Taylor Faust Ingram Tom Moore High School Ingram; Tyler Dombroski Eldorado High School Eldorado; Amber Ward Llano High School Llano and Joanna Baird Ballinger High School Ballinger.
Congratulations to the winners applicants and all graduates from District 53 on a job well done Hilderbran said.
