The Terry Scholarship Program was established in 1986 by Mr. Howard Terry in support of Texas high school graduates and transfer scholars to receive a higher education at public colleges and universities within the state. The University of Texas at Dallas was added to the program in 2006 and has exponentially grown since then. We currently have 116 scholars for the 2014-2015 school year and could not be more excited for what is in store!
