HISTORY OF THE SCHOLARSHIPS

In 2023, Shelby Galvin, a Texas State 2014 graduate, decided to give back to her Texas State community by supporting a scholarship for women in STEM.

Shelby has a passion for “fintech”, which is a combination of finance and technology. She wants to help women become leaders in this field, and agreed to help grow the scholarship by increasing the top undergraduate award to $5,000 annually.
