The Texas Historical Commission (THC) is the state agency for historic preservation. We save the real places that tell the real stories of Texas. Our staff consults with citizens and organizations to preserve Texas history through its architectural, archeological, and cultural landmarks. The agency is recognized nationally for its preservation programs. Their mission is to protect and preserve the state’s historic and prehistoric resources for the use, education, enjoyment, and economic benefit of present and future generations. Throughout their generosity, THC is also offering a scholarship.
The Friends of Casa Navarro is sponsoring the Annual José Antonio Navarro Distinguished Student Scholarship Award. Our past scholar recipients have been a diverse group of students attending various universities. Award of this scholarship will go to students who are well-rounded and exhibit potential to excel in college while contributing to the community at large.
