The starting point
DRAFT: Huston-Tillotson (HBCU, Austin) publishes no automatic merit grid — it describes 'more than a dozen' scholarship programs worth a few thousand dollars up to full tuition, run through an AwardSpring application portal — but it does publish an unusually family-friendly outside-scholarship policy (outside awards replace loans/work-study first).
Selection beyond grades and scores. These awards are not recorded as automatic on grades and scores. Read each award's selection rules, application steps and dates. Meeting a minimum is not an award offer.
Awards to discuss
The 2 awards in this school's research. Amounts retain the original units and conditions; confirm the entering year with the school.
