Jessica Burchfield, Director of Scholar Programs in the Division of Student Life, has been selected to serve on the Texas Leadership Scholars (TLS) application committee for the 2024-25 scholarship selection process.

The committee reviews and selects TLS recipients for all 26 participating Texas Public Institutions.

The TLS program was founded in 2022 by 18 member institutions as a state-wide, leadership program, aimed at guiding Texas high school graduates to develop their leadership skills and continue their education at a public Texas university. Cohorts of students will be connected with peer and professional networks and mentors, participate in unique leadership development programs, and receive opportunities for undergraduate research and study abroad options.
