Hamman Foundation Scholarships
Scholarship Sponsored by George and Mary Josephine Hamman Foundation
Overview
Each spring the George and Mary Josephine Hamman Foundation awards seventy (70) scholarships to graduating high school seniors from the Houston area to support undergraduate study. Each scholarship totals $25,000 and is paid out over up to four years (or until the student graduates, if sooner). Award recipients may pursue any major at any accredited four-year college or university in the United States, provided they continue to meet the scholarship conditions.
Who is eligible
- Enrolled high school seniors (applying during their senior year).
- Students who attend schools or are homeschooled within one of these eight Texas counties: Brazoria, Chambers, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, Liberty, Montgomery, or Waller.
- United States citizens only; applicants who hold only Permanent Resident status are not eligible.
- Scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic achievement and demonstrated financial need.
Application timing and test-score requirements
- Applications may be submitted during the student’s senior year. Online application forms become available after September 15 of the senior year.

Selection process and notification
