Bobby Bragan Scholarship Winners Announced
Fort Worth, Texas – Three Fort Worth ISD eighth-graders are Bobby Bragan Youth Foundation scholarship recipients. The students are among 34 North Texas eighth-graders selected from a pool of more than 200 finalists who submitted applications and essays. The 2019 Bobby Bragan scholarships recipients from Fort Worth ISD are:
These recipients and all finalists will be honored at the annual Bobby Bragan Youth Foundation Scholarship Celebration at 2:30 p.m. April 7 at the Maverick Activities Center on the campus of the University of Texas at Arlington. Bobby Bragan, a former Major League Baseball player, manager and coach, established the Youth Foundation in 1991 to encourage children to stay in school and pursue their educational and career dreams. The scholarships awarded by the Bobby Bragan Youth Foundation are presented to deserving students while they are in the eighth grade, just prior to their entrance into high school, at a critical juncture in their academic career. By focusing attention on the availability of aid for merit at the middle school level, the foundation hopes to inspire students to strive for higher education, dedicate themselves to working hard to reach that goal, and pushing themselves to seek out additional aid at an earlier stage in their lives. The Fort Worth ISD is now in its 29th year of encouraging students to participate in this generous program.
