Investing in the Future Huntsman Rewarded 16 Spring ISD Students with Academic Scholarships

For the sixth consecutive year, Huntsman is investing directly in the next generation of leaders through its partnership with Spring Independent School District (ISD). Established in 2020, the Huntsman Scholarship Program reflects a shared commitment to expanding access to higher education by supporting students pursuing college degrees in science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM), and business-related fields.

This year, 16 graduating seniors received $5,000 per year, renewable for up to four years, for a total possible award of $20,000 to help them attend an accredited four-year university. Designed as a direct investment in education, the scholarship supports students at a pivotal transition point as they move from high school to higher education.

“We’ve [now] had the opportunity to invest over a million dollars in future generations. I believe that is the best investment that this company will ever make.” – Peter Huntsman, Chairman and CEO

Together with Spring ISD’s leadership, this partnership was shaped during the early days of the COVID pandemic to identify the most meaningful ways to support students’ longterm success. Located just down the road from Huntsman’s global headquarters, Spring ISD serves a diverse community of more than 34,000 students across 43 campuses, many of whom face economic challenges that can put higher education out of reach.

Since these scholarships were first awarded in 2021, 96 Spring ISD students have received nearly $1.2 million in funding through the program. For the students recognized, the scholarships represent more than financial support. They offer reassurance, momentum, and the freedom to focus on academic and career goals with fewer obstacles.

“This scholarship means a lot to me. I’ll be able to focus on my academics and not worry about the financial burden on my family.” – Sarahi Perez, Carl Wunsche Sr. High School
