Tyler ISD is proud to announce that four outstanding seniors have been awarded the UT Tyler Honors Scholarship. This recognition highlights their academic achievements, leadership, and commitment to community service.
The scholarship recipients are Miunna Davis, Leely Nguyen, and Alexa Sanchez from Early College High School, and Sri Mandlem from Tyler Legacy High School. Each student received a surprise award presentation at their school, celebrated alongside their family, teachers, and administrators.
UT Tyler recently selected this distinguished group of high school seniors from more than 600 applicants for its Honors Scholarships, part of the university’s Honors College experience. Applicants undergo a rigorous review process, including essays and interviews, to qualify for these competitive awards.
The UT Tyler Honors College provides an enriched academic environment for intellectually driven and high-achieving students. Honors students engage in small, seminar-style core courses, interdisciplinary curriculum, independent research, and senior capstone projects that enhance their academic experience. They also benefit from mentorship by faculty, leadership development opportunities, and a close-knit cohort of peers with similar academic goals.
Tyler ISD Superintendent Dr. Marty Crawford praised the scholarship recipients, saying, “We are incredibly proud of these students and the dedication they have shown throughout their academic careers. Their success reflects not only their hard work and perseverance, but also the strength of the opportunities and support systems within Tyler ISD. They are well-prepared to thrive at UT Tyler and beyond.”
This scholarship marks an important milestone for each student as they continue their academic journey, preparing for leadership roles and careers in their chosen fields. Tyler ISD congratulates these students on their remarkable accomplishments and well-deserved recognition.
