Texas Scholars is an initiative of Texas Business and Education Coalition (TBEC) in partnership with local school districts and community volunteers. The initiative motivates 8th graders to take a more purposeful approach in high school, and to plan for and work toward a career of their choosing after high school. Since 1992, Texas Scholars has a record of success in motivating students and influencing policy toward the goal of completing a full academic course of study in high school.

The business community in its effort to attract a qualified workforce and sustain our nation’s high standard of living has endorsed and actively promoted the Texas Scholars Program to eighth graders to encourage them to take the Recommended High School Program.

The following companies and organizations provided volunteers who were trained as Texas Scholars Presenters. These volunteers conducted presentations in May that reached every SBISD 8th grader in SBISD.
