Lubbock County has 13 local scholarships in our catalog so far, from 2 sponsors that limit them to students from this part of Texas. Most run through a community foundation, where one application often covers many funds. We keep searching and add new local scholarships as we find them, so this number grows.
Each sponsor counted once, by kind. A community foundation often runs dozens of separate funds through one application, so it can be one sponsor with many scholarships.

A public four-year college in Texas averaged $8,195 in tuition and fees and $10,878 for a dorm and meals in 2022-23, about $19,073 a year before any aid, less than the national public average of $22,389. That is the newest federal figure published for every state, so today's prices run higher. The homepage works out what is left after Texas's own state aid for your student's grades and scores, college by college.

The names, rules and deadlines are the product. We read each one from the sponsor's own page and recheck it on a schedule, and that work is what the $149 board pays for. This page shows how much is out there so you can decide whether it is worth a look.
No. Most local scholarships add their own rules on top of where you live: one high school, a GPA floor, a planned major, a parent who is a member or a customer. The board asks about those once and shows the ones your student fits, with what each one still asks you to check.
Counted from our catalog on October 8, 2026. We add new local scholarships every week, so the numbers here usually go up.
Counts, amounts and deadline months come from each sponsor's own published rules and can change without notice. Totals add one winner of each scholarship; sponsors that do not publish an amount are not counted in the dollar total. A deadline month is from the most recent cycle we could find. College prices are estimates to plan with, not a quote. Confirm anything you act on with the sponsor or the college.
