About the Scholarship:
The University of Houston-Victoria was founded in the late 1960s as a result of a grassroots effort by the local community. Their goal was to establish a higher educational institution in Victoria. Following a meeting with Texas legislators in 1973, community representatives were successful in establishing an off-campus center for the University of Houston. The University of Houston Victoria Center was the name of this off-campus location. University of Houston-Victoria is a public university in Victoria, Texas. 3,273 undergraduate students and 1080 postgraduate students are among the 4,353 students enrolled at UHV.
