Thursday, December 20th, Eagle Pass High School Senior Samantha Mijares was surprised by University of Texas at Austin staff.
The Longhorns visited Samantha to award her as a recipient of UT's Impact Scholarship.
The scholarship covers four years of tuition. Students are selected for the scholarship through a holistic review process.
A student's demonstrated leadership, proven academic success, perseverance, and commitment to their schools and communities are all qualities that are evaluated when selecting Impact Scholars.
Thirty Impact Scholarships are awarded throughout the state each year.
EPHS is proud to announce that one of their biggest and brightest was named one of these elite 30 students.
Congratulations, Sammy!
