TYLER — The East Texas Communities Foundation has numerous scholarships available for area students. On KTBB “Staff Meeting,” the foundation’s Dana Durman told us there’s a lot to be said for the scholarship process. Durman says it rewards students who have worked hard in school, sets them above the rest, and is a good way to honor the kids and tell them they’ve done a great job. Durman encourages kids to apply through her agency — and go after all the other scholarships available. She says students aren’t taking full advantage of what’s out there, often because they find the process difficult or time-consuming. “But,” she says, “the reward at the end is great, so follow through with the process.” Also, she’s available to help if you have questions. <\/p>\n
