Billie C. Fowler International Connections of Houston Scholarship

International Connections of Houston was established in 1999 by Kathleen Barndt, Billie Fowler and Liz Evans 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.

University of Houston 2022 Scholarship 

The ICH Board has approved that the recent donation of $2500 will go to an additional educational scholarship. The first recipient of this scholarship is a 2022 graduate from Westside High School who will be attending the University of Houston. The recipient was recommended by the Academic Program Manager at Westside High School based on his financial need, grades, SAT score, and other school performances.

Scholarships go further than just being financial aid for many students; they open the doors of opportunity to a better future for both the recipient and their community. Scholarship funds will be paid directly to the university. As a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit, ICH is able to receive funds from both public and private foundations, such as, the Panilla Foundation. The ICH Board is then set to the task to approve final use of the funds in a manner that reflects the ideals of both entities.
