Hamman Foundation Scholarships
Scholarship Sponsored by George and Mary Josephine Hamman Foundation
Overview
Each spring the George and Mary Josephine Hamman Foundation selects seventy (70) Houston-area high school seniors to receive a Hamman Scholarship for undergraduate study. The award totals $25,000 per recipient and is paid out over up to four years (or until the student graduates, if that occurs earlier). 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.

- Must attend a high school or be homeschooled within one of these eight Texas counties: Brazoria, Chambers, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, Liberty, Montgomery, or Waller.
- Must be a citizen of the United States (Permanent Residents are not eligible).
- Awards are made on the basis of academic achievement and demonstrated financial need.
