PACC Houston opened the 2026 Mahmoud Darwish Scholarship application to recognize undergraduate students who pair academic commitment with meaningful community involvement.
What the scholarship supports
The scholarship provides tuition assistance for eligible undergraduate students in the Houston area. It reflects PACC’s year-round commitment to education, youth leadership, and civic participation.
Scholarship funds are paid directly to the recipient’s college or university and disbursed by semester. The published requirements for each cycle remain the source of truth for applicants.
Application window
The 2026 application window ran from June 22 through July 12. Future applicants should wait for a newly dated PACC announcement before applying.
Leadership and service
The program recognizes more than academic work alone. Participation in student organizations, community service, and initiatives that build public awareness are central to the scholarship’s purpose.
Applicants should be ready to document their academic standing and describe the work they have carried forward in their campus or wider community.
Before the next cycle
Dates and eligibility can change from one cycle to the next. Visit the scholarship page for the program overview, then subscribe to PACC Houston updates for the next confirmed application period.
