Karnack ISD presents TASB Rosser Scholarship awards and updates committee criteria
Summary
Administrators presented Rosser Scholarship recipients and said the scholarship committee updated application deadlines and documentation requirements. Several named students were listed as recipients; one student will receive a $250 TASB prize despite not meeting class-hour requirements.
District administrators presented the TASB Rosser Scholarship recipients and briefed the board on committee changes and outreach to recipients.
The minutes list presentations to DeVonte Marshall and Jalisha Broadnax, and indicate a presentation to Mr. Robert Broadnax on behalf of another recipient. Administrators reported the spring 2025 cycle produced eight scholarship recipients; for fall 2025 they reported four had completed and accepted scholarships, three were not enrolling, two had been contacted but had not provided schedules, and one did not meet required class-hour thresholds. The committee revised application requirements to include a deadline and required documentation, and added trade school options (cosmetology and barber schools) to eligible programs.
The minutes note one student who did not meet class-hour requirements will nevertheless receive a $250 amount awarded at a recent TASB conference. Board members did not debate scholarship criteria further in the minutes but asked for administration to continue follow-up with recipients.
