Thomsen-Baker-Telfer STEM Scholarship 2024 Winners

At the AAUW-WHC Branch luncheon on June 15, 2024, our own Thompson-Baker-Telfer Scholarship Fund awarded three area graduating seniors $3,500 scholarships.

Fathia Fakoya from Elsik High School (Alief ISD) will attend Texas A&M University in College Station where she will study Neuroscience. Fathia plans to become a neurosurgeon.

 

Natalie Skeen from Northbrook High School (Spring Branch ISD) will attend the University of Texas in Austin, majoring in biology. Natalie will pursue a pre-med program and plans to attend medical school and become an MD.

 

Emerie McCann from Young Women’s College Preparatory Academy (Houston ISD) will
attend University of Texas in Austin majoring in Environmental Engineering. Her goal is to
tackle environmental issues in underserved communities.

 

 

 

 

NOTE: The announced HISD recipient at the June Luncheon was Lola Giwa. After the luncheon Lola was awarded a full scholarship to Xavier University of Louisiana. Thomsen-Baker-Telfer had to withdraw its offer of scholarship funds to Lola as she has zero need in her Xavier account. Thomsen-Baker-Telfer’s guiding procedures do not allow the fund to give money directly to a student. We wish her the best of luck in her studies and future career!
