Are you a Texas undergraduate college student, graduate school student or high school senior with plans on attending college? Do you have a love for Texas and a passion for helping others? If so, The Law Offices of Hilda Sibrian wants to help you with a $2,500 scholarship.

Take advantage of this exciting opportunity and submit your entry by our deadline of December 30, 2018!
What Is the Proud Texan Scholarship?
At The Law Offices of Hilda Sibrian, we have experienced first-hand the benefits of a higher education. We believe that getting a college education is a key to learning how our world functions and to understanding how we can improve the world around us. A college education is also important in order to be competitive in the work field and to achieve one's career goals.
We also greatly value the support and inspiration we have received from our parents, mentors and teachers along the way. We have always admired those who are driven to help others and to better those around them.
That is why we are excited to "pay it forward" by awarding one $2,500 scholarship to the student who submits the winning video and essay in our 2018 Proud Texan Scholarship Contest.
We will award the scholarship in the form of a check from The Law Offices of Hilda Sibrian. It will be payable to the institution which the student provides in his or her application form (or a different institution provided in accordance with our Terms and Conditions).

- Complete our online application form.
- Create a 30-to-120-second video.
- Write a brief essay (no more than 500 words) to support your video.

- What motivates you to continue your education?
- Who has helped you along the way?
- What do you do – or plan to do – to better the state of Texas?
Only one entry per student is allowed. To submit the video, you must upload it to YouTube and include a link to it in our application form. You must copy and paste your essay into the bottom of the application form. Entries will not be returned.
You must follow all Terms and Conditions and complete all entry requirements by 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, December 30, 2018.

How Will We Choose the Scholarship Winner?

The video and essay must be original and previously unpublished works. We will review each video and essay based on their creativity, originality, thoughtfulness and quality of content.
