Gerald Anderson, Brazosport In
dependent School District superin
tendent and one of the leaders in the
program, said the program has en

“We work primarily with the
University and the public

continued Texas’ journey relating
to education, so that high school
students graduate feeling more
prepared to enter college.”
Anderson has worked with the
program in the Brazosport School

The Partnership for Texas Public

awards, including funding from the

Pew Charitable Tfust and the Sid

chance to meet with A&M officials.
“I’d like to see at least 50 students
apply,” Estrada said. “We want it to
be competitive, and if we interview
less than three students per scholar
ship, I’d be disappointed.”
He said depending on the suc
