The Scholarship Programs Taiwanese Heritage Society of
Houston (THSH) was founded in 1989 as an IRS tax-exempt 501(C) (3)
organization. The main goals of THSH are to provide social, cultural and
educational services to the greater Houston metropolitan area, and to
increase public understanding of Taiwanese cultural heritages. As part of our efforts to
serve the community, as well as to encourage qualified students to further
pursue higher education, THSH has offered two scholarship programs as follows: (I). Taiwanese American Community Scholarship (TACS) The Community Scholarships are
awarded to qualified high school seniors from selected high schools in
Houston Metropolitan area. The recipients are selected based on their
academic achievements and the commitments for their services to the
community. Since the establishment of the scholarship in 2001, THSH has
awarded more than fifty students from schools across several different
districts. Recipients, their families and school officials were invited to
the Taiwanese Community Center for award ceremonies, which were held during
the month of May or June. Similar award ceremonies will be planned for the
new recipients. The deadline for the 2008
Community scholarship is April 10, 2008. The application form is available at the TACS link. (II). Taiwanese Heritage Scholarship (THS) These Taiwanese Heritage
scholarships are awarded to the high school seniors of Taiwanese decent. The
deadline to apply for the 2007 THS scholarship is Nov. 10, 2007. For
