Love Remains Scholarship Grant

The Love Remains Scholarship, founded by Shelie Bravo-Williams through the Community Foundation of West Texas, provides financial support to Texas students who have lost a parent or spouse. Established to honor family legacies, this scholarship aims to empower widowed families by enabling their children to pursue higher education. Each year, over 100 scholarships are awarded, fostering a brighter future for students in the Texas South Plains area.

Scholarships
The Community Foundation of West Texas is proud to award over 100 scholarships to South Plains area students each year. We work closely with the groups or individuals who have so graciously established scholarship funds to help out their community. Helping South Plains students today creates a stronger future for them tomorrow and beyond.
The Love Remains Scholarship Fund was founded by Shelie Bravo-Williams out of a desire to help widowers and their children. As a widower herself, she found herself with little means to help her children continue on to higher education. As she built her real estate business she wanted to “pay it forward” by helping others and growing family legacies. Shelie's children and grandchildren are a part of the Love Remains Scholarship Fund, demonstrating that although one parent may be gone, a Family Legacy can be built and carried on.
