University Women's Club Paul Whitfield Horn Scholarship

About

Named in the honor of Texas Tech University's first President, in 1941 the endowment was founded as a scholarship fund by the Quarterly Club and has since provided financial assistance to Texas Tech University graduate students.

Recipients are selected primarily for their professional aspirations, demonstrated and potential academic ability, character, and financial need. In 1963, the fund became a joint project of the Quarterly Club and University Women's Club. In 2004, the Quarterly Club disbanded leaving the University Women's Club responsible for the endowment

Funds are raised from membership dues, poinsettias sales, and a silent auction. The endowment is administered by a committee of UWC members appointed by the President for overlapping terms of three years.
