2025 Car Accident Survivor Scholarship

The Austin Car Accident Survivor Scholarship will provide $3,000 per semester in financial aid for recipients. We designed this scholarship to ease the financial burden of pursuing higher education. This scholarship can be used for a wide range of school-related expenses, including tuition, housing fees, textbooks, school supplies, and other expenses necessary for completing the academic year. Like other Austin scholarships in 2025, we are providing this financial aid opportunity as a way to support car accident survivors in the Austin community, as well as those who have lost loved ones. This helps them pursue their educational goals and move forward in life.
