Texas NAHRO Scholarship Foundation, Inc.

The Housing Authority of the City of Austin (HACA) proudly sponsors the Texas NAHRO Scholarship Program serving as a vehicle of hope to individuals who have a desire to further their education, but lack the adequate financial means to accomplish this goal. We hope to reach students who may not otherwise realize their college aspirations. The scholarship recipients, in turn, serve as role models to their family, neighborhood and community.

Since 2003, HACA has funded over 135,000 to the TX NAHRO Scholarship Program to deserving high school seniors towards receiving a college degree. HACA’s hope is to continue encouraging individual achievement and self-sufficiency and to expand the funding to reach more students.

The scholarship funds are made possible by the continued success of HACA and Southwest Housing Compliance Corporation.

The Section 8 HCV Program Portability Contact Information for the State of Texas is now available in the "Resource Materials" Section. If you don't see your agency please email your agency information to shelli@brazosnet.com to be added.
