RMHC® of Greater North Texas 2022 – 2023 Scholarship    DUE:4/1

Ronald McDonald House Charities® (RMHC®) is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization that creates, finds, and
supports programs that directly improve the health and wellbeing of children and their families. Its
programs are grassroots-driven to enable the Charity to offer help where children need it most – right in
their own communities. The RMHC Scholars Scholarship is offered unilaterally to children of all backgrounds
and ethnicities based on an assessment of academic achievement and need. Through the RMHC Scholars
Scholarship Program, the focus will be on opening the door to higher education for graduating high school
seniors who face limited access to educational and career opportunities. It will allow all students to apply
for a scholarship regardless of race, color, creed, religion, sexual orientation, gender, disability, or national
origin. The program seeks to invest in students who are exemplary role models in their communities and
have the initiative to fulfill their educational goals.
The RMHC Scholars Scholarship Program is intended to support students who have a desire to pursue higher
education and express a commitment to serve their community. These students have varying academic
qualifications, financial needs, and leadership attributes.
To both recognize students’ achievements from an academic and community-oriented perspective, we also
want to be aware of their need for support financially.
Students are selected and awards are distributed based on demonstrated academic achievement, financial
need, and community involvement.
Scholarships must be designated for graduating high school seniors.
