The Hank Aaron Chasing the Dream Foundation has provided deserving Texas College students with financial assistance in the form of scholarships since 2010. Founded by Dr. Billye Suber Aaron, Texas College Alumna and television host, and her husband, baseball legend Mr. Hank Aaron, the two utilized their notoriety and platform to establish themselves as philanthropists and civic leaders devoted to education, especially at Texas College.
The Foundation has funded a multitude of students’ educational pursuits for over a decade. The scholarship reflects the desire of Dr. Suber Aaron to encourage and reward academic achievement.
What began with just one scholarship in 2010, the program has expanded to provide 11 students with scholarships for the 2024-2025 academic year. The recipients expressed sincere gratitude, crediting the scholarship for helping them continue their educational pursuits.
“Receiving the scholarship is both an honor and a blessing,” said Miss Angel Cummings. “It has lightened my financial burden and brought me one step closer to achieving my dream. I am truly grateful for the support as I continue my journey through higher education.”
Miss Kaleya Kerr-Ervin shared a similar sentiment, “I am extremely grateful to be one of the recipients. Through this scholarship, I will be able to excel throughout my music degree program."
Given the endowed aspect of the scholarship, the scholarship will remain in perpetuity to continue to help fund the education of deserving students at Texas College.
