Billie C. Fowler International Connections of Houston Scholarship
International Connections of Houston was established in 1999 by Billie Fowler, Kathleen Barndt, Liz Evans, Sylvia Hudson, and Barbara Halstead with the desire to connect Expatriates and Repatriates to each other, Houston, and the wider world.
Continuing in the spirit of this, the Billie C. Fowler International Connections of Houston Scholarship was founded at the University of Houston – Clear Lake, and established ICH as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
For over 20 years, this scholarship has been awarded to students pursing an education with an international orientation, honoring ICH’s fundamental desire to influence, support and encourage young minds with a global focus.
To help continue this work make a donation here.
