| Pioneer Scholarship Fund for Distinguished SWTJC Students |
Southwest Texas Junior College Board of Trustees authorized the Pioneer Scholarship Program in 1987 for academically talented students. The Pioneer Scholarship for Distinguished SWTJC students is designed to help distinguished students continue their second year of education by awarding financial assistance for two long term consecutive semesters.
