The Neches River Festival Board Scholarship is a one thousand dollar scholarship that is awarded to SEVEN participants.   The Neches River Festival’s Executive Board chooses six senior Princess/Escort participants and one senior Duchess participant to receive the NRF Board Scholarship.  This scholarship is to help participants pursue their educational goals and achieve their higher education dreams.  


This scholarship is awarded based on a written essay, community involvement and educational goals. The scholarship money will be awarded to your school in your name.  Once you are awarded this scholarship please verify the college you will be attending in the fall and if you would like the total sum in the fall semester or divided up between fall and spring semesters.  Participants who have a parent on the Executive Board are not eligible to apply for this scholarship.
