Adults seeking to further their education at Lone Star College can now apply for the Tu Camino Scholarship.
One adult will be awarded up to $15,000 to help cover tuition, books and other fees thanks to the ongoing partnership between LSC Foundation and TelevisaUnivision Houston.
"We are excited to once again partner with TelevisaUnivision to help a Lone Star College student make their dreams a reality,” said Nicole Robinson Gauthier, CFRE, LSC Foundation executive director.
Spanish for “your path,” the Tu Camino Scholarship application entails a 500-word essay about how the opportunity would help applicants grow in their careers or pivot to a new career path. The deadline is Sunday, Aug. 31.
The scholarship is open to adults with a high school diploma or GED who live within TelevisaUnivision’s Greater Houston broadcast area. Applicants must also have a minimum 2.5 GPA from high school or previous college experience and meet LSC’s admissions criteria. For more information and to apply, visit BecaTuCamino.com.
LSC Foundation first partnered with TelevisaUnivision to award the Tu Camino Scholarship in 2023 as part of TelevisaUnivision’s Contigo—“Univision With You”—program, which aims to empower and support Hispanic communities.
"We at TelevisaUnivision are thrilled to join Lone Star College for a third consecutive year for the ‘Tu Camino’ scholarship program to support adult students in their pursuit of higher education," said Mark Masepohl, regional president and general manager, Southwest/Central Region. "This scholarship program reflects our commitment to fostering talent and providing opportunities for students to achieve their full potential, as part of our Univision Contigo (Univision With You) community initiative.”
