The Frost Bank was established in 1868 as a business of banking and investment and insurance products. After it drew trust powers from the Federal Reserve Board, the bank launched the Wischer Scholarship program in 2007.
It’s named after the highly respected Mrs. Irene S. Wischer, who is widely known for her philanthropic activities. The program is sponsored by her foundation and administered by the Frost Bank Trustee.
It’s a renewable scholarship award administered to Texas students only. The sponsor takes into account the financial needs of the grantee. Students can only receive funding for a total of four years.
1. Demonstrate good character
A unique aspect of this scholarship is that it prioritizes students who are devoted Christians and regularly attend church. Emphasize the impact of religion on your personal development.
2. Demonstrate academic potential not merely performance
The selection committee desires candidates, who will be able to succeed in their future academic pursuits and have high prospects of performing well. Explain how your previous academic record will aid your efforts in the future.
3. Submit tailormade recommendation letters
Ask your mentors/teachers to draft your recommendation letter keeping in mind the objectives of the program. You may want to brief them beforehand about the scope of the scholarship.
4. Don’t conceal financial need
You should not try to conceal your financial condition at all. The scholarship is awarded to a student unable to afford higher education. The more deserving you are, the greater the chances of selection.
