Our Diamonds Do Good Scholarship

To qualify for the 2023 scholarship, students had to be high school seniors attending public, private or homeschool within the Bryan and College Station city boundaries and have been accepted to Blinn College or Texas A&M University College Station Campus for the fall of 2023 school year. Students also had to be seeking an Associate’s or Bachelor’s Degree.2023 Service Project Requirements
