Named Scholarships

The Lake Travis Education Foundation is a 501c3 organization and, as such, donations to the organization are tax deductible.

Named Honorary/Memorial Scholarships may be established in the name of one or more individuals. Not all memorial donations, however, must be set up in a named fund - you may simply request memorials to the Foundation in memory of a loved one.

Ongoing Memorial Scholarship Funds currently accept contributions honoring Grace Massey, Carla McDonald, B.J. Morehead, and Shelley Stillman, and scholarship endowment funds were established by the families and friends of Jean Drysdale, Sandi Hanson, and Ben Perkins. The Foundation also administers the Women's Club of Greater Lakeway Scholarship fund, and donations to this fund should be submitted directly to the Women's Club representative.

Scholarship Funds may be set up in the following categories:

Honorary/Memorial Scholarship

This non-endowment, honorary/memorial award is given in the current fiscal year (June-May) and awards all of the designated funds received in honor/memory of the individual through the May scholarship awards process.
