The Trailblazer Scholarship Award is offered annually to deserving individuals as a symbolic gesture of the Houston Association of Panamanians' commitment to the promotion of higher learning among the citizenry of Houston, as well as the people of the Republic of Panama.

A scholarship fund is established for the purpose of offering financial assistance to those deservingly selected individuals, who seek develop or improve personal skills and talents which will allow them to become positive and self-sufficient contributors to an evolving global socio-economic system of which we all form a part.

Monetary contributions are accepted from individuals, businesses, or organizations on a continuous, year round basis; either by direct online deposits, or by mailing your financial support to the address below:

Financial contributors to the scholarship fund are eligible for a tax deductible certificate issued by the association.
