Matthew Mata Memorial Nursing Scholarship

The Matthew Mata Memorial Nursing Scholarship is a need-based scholarship program supporting single parent nursing students at Tarrant County College. The scholarship is awarded to students currently enrolled in the Associate of Applied Science Program in Nursing who demonstrate academic excellence and financial need. Recipients must maintain full-time enrollment and meet specific GPA requirements. The scholarship has a renewal component, allowing recipients to receive a spring scholarship if they maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA in the fall semester and successfully complete all fall nursing courses. This renewable structure provides continued support throughout the academic year for qualifying students. This opportunity specifically targets single parents who are heads of household, recognizing the unique challenges faced by this population while pursuing nursing education. The scholarship aims to support students who demonstrate both academic merit and financial need as they work toward their nursing degree.
