2023 Jackie Greer Mentoring Scholarship Application

Texas Executive Women Jackie Greer Mentoring Scholarship

Application Instructions

Thanks to TEW members and supporters, TEW offers scholarships to female seniors who are attending college as first-year students and have participated in a TEW program.

In 1998, Texas Executive Women established the Jackie Greer Mentoring Scholarship, which provides scholarships for mentees graduating from high school to attend a university, junior college, or trade school. Jackie Greer was the first female officer of a major Houston bank, church, and community leader who was passionate about helping young women in the Houston area. Linda Holt, who succeeded Jackie in running the program, shared: “Trust was not given easily, but soon the girls were converts to Jackie’s philosophy that ‘with pride and the right attitude, all things are possible.” As of 2022, we have awarded more than $730,000 in scholarships to graduates of the TEW Mentorship Program.

Scholarships will be awarded to the following:

Graduating college seniors planning to enroll in post-graduation studies at a college or university acceptable to the TEW Mentoring Scholarship Committee.
Graduating high school seniors and college juniors planning to enroll in a community college, college or university, or a vocational or career education school acceptable to the TEW Mentoring Scholarship Committee.

All scholarships must be claimed and funded by the deadlines established and provided to the scholarship recipients by the Scholarship Committee.
