TAAHP SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE AWARDS
$52,500
IN SCHOLARSHIPS For the last six years, Texas Affiliation of Affordable Housing (TAAHP) has provided more than $80,000 in scholarship funding to students seeking a higher education. TAAHP’s scholarship program was created to help some of the most vulnerable students in the state pursue a higher level of education as a pathway to self-sustainability and success. This year, TAAHP is pleased to have awarded $52,500 in scholarships to students living in affordable housing communities across Texas. The total reflects a 525% increase in total dollars awarded compared to 2019 thanks to several generous donations by TAAHP members. “I am extremely honored to be part of Texas’ affordable housing industry — TAAHP members stepped up in a big way and because of their generosity, we have the opportunity to offer larger grant amounts this year to seven very worthy recipients,” says TAAHP
