Lone Star State Scholars honors students grades 3-8 who excel in the classroom, in the community, as leaders in extra-curricular, church or other outside interests, as well as on the athletic fields and courts. We first honored Texas students in 2006. Our parent company runs a similar program that honors students in the Great Lakes States of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin. We expanded our program in 2005 to include Florida, and again in 2008 to include California. We are in our eleventh year and have won rave reviews from teachers, principals, parents and students as 70,000 youngsters have been honored since its inception.

Each year we receive letters from principals, teachers, parents, and students telling us how much the experience means to them and what a void we are filling in their community. This is exactly why we were founded.

It may be a cliché, but we are a company that cares. Lone Star State Scholars has been established to allow students the opportunity to receive positive affirmation for what is so important at this age: a willingness and excitement to learn, a desire to be involved, and an enthusiasm towards community service and activities.

Names of students appear for no charge in a book that will be published at the end of the year. You do not "buy" your way into a book. Each student who is nominated deserves the recognition.

Realizing that not everyone wants a book nor can afford one, we post children's names on this web site if they receive permission from their parent or guardian. We allow schools a chance to download press releases to send this news to local media. Each school receives a complimentary certificate noting their participation and how many students from their school received such designation. Later in the year, a newsletter is mailed out to students updating them on the various accomplishments of the Scholars across the state.

Finally, as we grow in Texas, we hope we can offer community nights throughout the state to gather, recognize and honor Lone Star State Scholars.

We are not above good ideas and suggestions on how we can do this or anything else. Email us at info@LoneStarStateScholars.com and let us know your thoughts.

We wish you the best in your academic and other pursuits.
