The F.B. Kirchner Scholarship Trust Fund seeks to help academically oriented students with documented financial need to continue their education by awarding scholarships in the amount of $1000 ($500 Fall and $500 Spring). Funds from the scholarship are to help defray the cost of attending classes at Southwest Texas Junior College.
SWTJC students who meet the following criteria are eligible to apply:
are pursuing a degree at SWTJC with a goal of securing a bachelor's degree;
enrolled for a minimum of twelve semester hours exclusive of developmental courses;
completed or will complete a minimum of 30 semester hours at SWTJC, exclusive of developmental courses;
A cumulative GPA of 3.00;
have established financial aid need for the semester in which the award will be made by completing the appropriate financial aid application;
are willing to acknowledge a moral obligation to return to the scholarship fund an amount equivalent to the amount awarded. No time limitation is designated.
Number of awards available are based on the availability of funds. Priority in awarding will be given to residents of the tri-county area of Uvalde, Real, and Zavala counties. Students must complete a minimum of twelve semester hours with a minimum GPA of 3.00 to qualify for the second semester award. Maximum student award from this fund is $1000.
