EPIC Scholars Application

This is a group of awards reached through one application. Each award inside it has its own rules.

Award

Over 90 donor scholarship opportunities with differing individual amounts, duration and renewal. Selected renewable funds require annual or semester follow-up; no common collection-wide award.

Deadline

2027 EPIC opening/closing dates not published. Page still carries 2022-23 application dates and 2025 renewal dates; do not treat February 24 as a confirmed next-cycle deadline. Individual funds differ.

How to apply

Complete EPIC Scholars portal application for matches; separately submit individual scholarships. Upload current official/unofficial transcript with name, school, latest grades and cumulative GPA; named Duncan funds require official transcript. Complete selected fund’s essays/references and all other tasks by deadline.

Who can apply

High-school seniors, current college students and returning adults, with fund-specific geography, affiliation, GPA, need and enrollment criteria. Some accept part-time students; no common full-time or Texas-residence rule. Funds generally support eligible U.S. institutions, not international colleges.

Good to know

Legacy has a separate junior route for Bexar/Webb County students. Foundation stopped administering Whataburger Family Foundation employee fund June 30, 2026; follow the linked new administrator. Renewable funds require their GPA/enrollment and follow-up application; some named funds have probation exceptions. Transfer payments depend on school restrictions and return of original funding.
