Kirbyville, Texas — The Kirbyville Public Library is making sure students don’t miss out on free money for education this fall. Staff recently shared a list of lesser-known scholarships worth over $32,000 in total that often go under-applied, giving local students a stronger chance of being selected.

From math and the arts to trade school pathways and even a texting-and-driving prevention essay, these scholarships cover a wide range of interests and eligibility.

Library staff encourage students and parents to stop by and see Ms. Sandi for details and application support. With deadlines falling throughout September, time is of the essence.
