The Big Tex Scholarship Program is benefited by the Texas DMV’s approval of a specialty license plate.
The Board of Directors of the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) has revealed an intriguing new development that blends philanthropic work with a sense of community.
The construction of a specialty license plate for the State Fair of Texas was just approved by the board. Residents of Texas will be able to purchase these distinctively designed plates beginning in early 2025, with all proceeds going to the Big Tex Scholarship Program.
One well-known program that offers significant financial aid to high school seniors across the state of Texas is the Big Tex Scholarship Program. More than 3,500 worthy students have received more than $18.8 million in scholarships since the program’s launch in 1992.
Beneficiaries of the program include:
- Participants in Competitive Youth Livestock Events: Seniors in high school who have taken an active part in livestock competitions at the Texas State Fair.
- Students from Nearby High Schools: Seniors who are graduating from six high schools in the Dallas Independent School District (DISD) that are close to Fair Park.
Scholarship money is also available to long-term seasonal employees of the State Fair of Texas and their dependents.
The Specialty License Plates’ Impact and Purpose
In addition to supporting the education and future of young Texans, the introduction of the State Fair of Texas specialty license plate will provide Texans a chance to show off their pride in one of the state’s most treasured traditions. Scholarships will be directly funded by the proceeds from the sale of these plates, guaranteeing the program’s ongoing viability and its capacity to assist more students annually.
The Big Tex Scholarship Program has been a prime example of the State Fair of Texas’ dedication to community support, education, and youth development for over thirty years. The program continues to have a significant impact on the lives of students throughout Texas by giving out millions of dollars in scholarships each year.
Design Specifications and Availability
In early 2025, Texans can anticipate the release of the specially created State Fair of Texas specialty plates for sale.
The State Fair’s distinctive graphics will probably be incorporated into the design, enabling vehicles to show off their state pride and contribute to a worthwhile cause.
When the specialty license plates are made available, Texans can purchase them through the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles to participate in this program.
By doing this, locals not only support a life-changing scholarship program but also help maintain the State Fair of Texas’s reputation as a pillar of celebration and community support.
More young Texans will be able to fulfill their educational and professional goals thanks to this new effort, which highlights the State Fair of Texas and the TxDMV’s continued commitment to fostering possibilities for the next generation.
