FBJSL Opens 2026 Scholarship Applications to Empower Fort Bend County Women and Students
The Fort Bend Junior Service League (FBJSL) has officially opened the application period for its 2026 scholarship program, continuing its commitment to support educational opportunities for women and students across Fort Bend County. Applications are due by March 1, 2026.
As part of its long-standing dedication to community service, FBJSL will award up to six $1,000 Volunteer Scholarships to local high school seniors and one $2,000 New Beginnings Scholarship to a woman returning to school. These scholarships highlight FBJSL’s core mission of promoting volunteerism, empowering women, and improving lives in Fort Bend County through education and leadership.
Since the program’s launch in 2008, FBJSL has awarded more than $70,000 in scholarships, directly benefitting over 60 local women and students. Each year, the League’s scholarship program recognizes individuals who have shown a deep commitment to volunteerism, personal growth, and community involvement—values that have shaped FBJSL since its founding in 2000.

Founded by a passionate group of women who recognized the need for a local service organization dedicated solely to Fort Bend County, FBJSL has grown into one of the region’s most respected volunteer organizations. With a focus on charitable giving, leadership training, and cultural inclusivity, the League’s work has been widely praised for making a meaningful and lasting impact.
The Volunteer Scholarship is open to female high school seniors attending public or private schools within Fort Bend County. Applicants must have completed at least 100 hours of volunteer service during their high school years and plan to attend an accredited college or university. A minimum GPA of 2.5 is required, and students must submit an essay, a high school transcript, and a recommendation form.
Meanwhile, the New Beginnings Scholarship is geared toward adult women who are Fort Bend County residents and have experienced a break in their education. Applicants must be accepted or currently enrolled in a college, university, or vocational program accredited by the State of Texas. Financial need is a consideration, and candidates must provide a transcript, an essay, and two letters of recommendation.

Each scholarship awarded is more than a financial gift; it’s a vote of confidence in the power of education and the impact of service-driven leadership.
For students and women across Fort Bend County, FBJSL scholarships provide meaningful support to pursue education, serve their community, and take the next step toward their goals.
