NewSpring Scholarships
The goal of the NewSpring Scholarship program is not only to enable students to attend college but more importantly to graduate. We are focused on providing encouragement and opportunity for deserving students who will be the first in their family to attend college. Selected students will receive up to $5000 to cover education and living expenses for a twelve-month period. We have been blessed with very generous donors who make our scholarships possible.
If you are interested in applying, please contact our office in February of any year at info@newspringcenter.org or 713-590-0100.
Current Scholarship Recipients
Hoan My Le
Hoan My Le is a 2022 Memorial High School Graduate. She is a junior at the University of Houston, majoring in Entrepreneurship.
For certain jobs, a college degree is not necessary, and Entrepreneurship (which I plan to major in) is one of them. However, I see college as an opportunity. I hope to acquire prospective investors, allies, and knowledge of several business branches, such as accounting, finance, and management; I also want more experience as an employee or intern so I can learn how to apply this information to my future business. For me, this is a start before I get a taste of what it’s really like to graduate, open a business, and live my life MY way.
Nicolle Aguilar
Nicolle is a 2023 Northbrook High School graduate. She is in her second year at the University of Houston, pursuing a General Business Major with a minor in Accounting.
My educational goals are no different from my life goals. I want to be very successful, so I can help my family and the people who may need my help. My educational goal is to become a

Ever since my family and I migrated to the United States art has been a passion of mine and a huge part of my life. Because of what my art has gotten me through in my life – I want to be someone that can teach, or influence, a kid’s passion for art and self-expression. I plan to go into college with a bachelor degree in studio art so I can gain a teacher certificate and share my passion with kids who are at an age where they are figuring themselves out and their place in the world.
