Rep. Isaac's Office Accepting Armed Services Scholarship Applications

 

AUSTIN — The Office of State Rep. Jason Isaac (R-Dripping Springs) is accepting applications for the Texas Armed Services Scholarship Program (TASSP), which awards up to $4,000 to postsecondary students planning to serve in the United States armed forces or Texas State Guard.

"Our nation has been built by men and women who stepped up to serve a cause greater than themselves, a legacy that must be carried on," Rep. Isaac said. "It's an honor to play a small role in supporting young leaders willing to fight for our freedom."

Each Texas state senator and state representative can nominate one student for the scholarship. Students seeking nomination from Rep. Isaac's office must meet the following criteria:

  • Reside in Hays or Blanco County
  • Meet all eligibility requirements detailed at the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board's website
  • Include a resume, two recommendation letters, and a brief cover letter explaining why and in what branch the applicant plans to serve
  • Submit the above materials to jason.isaac@house.texas.gov no later than July 20, 2018

The nominee will be selected and by July 31.

Rep. Isaac is a fourth-generation native Texan who has represented Hays and Blanco counties in the Texas Legislature since 2011. He serves on the Energy Resources and Urban Affairs committees and is the founding chair of the Hill Country Caucus. He lives in Drippings Springs with his wife, Carrie, and two sons.
