Texas Business Hall of Fame Scholarship
It is our pleasure to invite you to participate in the 2009 Texas Business Hall of Fame Foundation Scholarship Program. Please note that this year we are asking that all Nominations be submitted by March 16, 2009.
Applications will not be accepted after the due date.
The Foundation's mission is twofold. First, we recognize and honor the historic contributions that business men and women have made in our state. Second, we sow seeds for our future by acknowledging and helping underwrite the promise that is being demonstrated by Texas business students. We accomplish this by honoring outstanding Texas business leaders at our Annual Awards Dinner, which will be held in Houston this year on October 15, 2009. Additionally, we assist future business leaders pursuing their degrees in Texas schools by funding a scholarship award program. It is a requirement that all final recipients be present to receive their award.
Our focus this year is to encourage students who demonstrate entrepreneurial spirit to apply. In previous years, this scholarship has been limited to students pursuing their MBA degrees. This is no longer a requirement as we look to find students who will make an impact to Texas Business throughout their careers. In addition, we had previously limited each participating school to three applicants. We have instituted a new step in the program this year that allows for participating schools to submit unlimited applicants. However, we consider the applications that are included in this packet as preliminary applications. Those that are selected to compete in the next round of the scholarship process will be required to submit an additional application. These students will be contacted individually and your office will be notified of the applicants who will proceed to the next round of the selection process.
The Foundation will award scholarships of $10,000 each. We expect the competition among candidates to be keen due to the deep pool of talented applicants enrolled at all our participating schools. Participation in the final rounds of the selection process does not guarantee that a scholarship will be rewarded.
As before, we are requesting that you discuss this opportunity with your students and submit your applications. The nominees should include the best and brightest students currently enrolled in your school. The qualifications are:
- Exhibits leadership traits in academic and campus activities
- Demonstrates a propensity for entrepreneurial achievement
- Has good academic credentials (3.5 or above on a scale of 4.0)
- Has outstanding moral character
- Is a U.S. Citizen

Forms are available at http://www.texasbusiness.org under the Scholarship Program. Students need to turn in their completed packets to Carole Abbott at the School of Management, 4.616. by March 16, 2009.
Upon selection to the next round, applicants will be sent additional paperwork to be completed by April 15th.
Interviews of your nominees will be conducted during the end of April and May, with final selection slated for late May. Please call Carole Abbott at 972-883-5840, if you have any questions.

The DFW Chapter of CEO Netweavers Four-Year Academic Scholarship
About the Scholarship
The DFW Chapter of CEO Netweavers established this scholarship for newly enrolled undergraduates at The University of Texas at Dallas School of Management. Applicants should demonstrate leadership ability, exhibit commitment to the principles of servant leadership, and be Texas residents among the first generation of their immediate family to attend college.
It is the intent of the DFW Chapter of CEO Netweavers that these scholarships, valued at approximately $1,500 per semester, provide a steady source of funds for the recipient's entire undergraduate career. In this spirit, awards will be given to the same student each year until their graduation, contingent on their continued commitment to servant leadership in their lives and careers.
As an organization based on a principal of servant leadership, the DFW Chapter of CEO Netweavers would like to share experiences, skills, and relationships with scholarship recipients. Recipients will become honorary members of the DFW Chapter during the duration of their scholarship, and will benefit from career and personal mentoring by the members of the organization.
About CEO Netweavers
Individuals concerned with corporate social responsibility believe that corporations should always consider the impact of the company's actions on all of the firm's stakeholders: customers, employees, shareholders, local citizens and the environment. This obligation extends beyond any statutory requirements, i.e. organizations should proactively and continually seek new ways to improve the quality of life for employees and their families as well as for the local community and society at large.
(Wikipedia reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_social_responsibility, accessed 12/6/2007)
Successful leadership of such organizations often requires a servant leader, an executive or manager who serves others before themselves. Robert Greenleaf, founder of the Center for Servant Leadership, developed these ideas starting in 1958. His most important work, Servant Leadership (1977/2002), is subtitled A Journey into the Nature of Legitimate Power & Greatness. CEO Netweavers is an organization of CEOs, COOs and other business leaders devoted to Greenleaf's principle of "servant leadership". The organization shares experiences, skills, and relationships to help each other and their communities without expecting anything in return.
(Wikipedia reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Greenleaf, accessed 12/6/2007)
Award Requirements
In addition to being Texas residents among the first generation of their immediate family to seek a college degree, as part of the scholarship application applicants must provide the following documents:
- Two letters of recommendation from high school teachers and/or counselors
- A 750-word essay explaining why the applicant believes that servant leadership is an effective management tool and how they have behaved as a servant to others in their lives
- A list of the books that they have read on the subject of servant leadership
- A letter of recommendation from a representative of a community service organization as to why and how the student has behaved as a servant leader
- Application deadline: Contact The School of Management Advising Office

- Stay on track to obtain an undergraduate degree in The UT Dallas School of Management within four academic years
- Maintain a grade point average of 3.0
