Domio/McKinney & Pruitt Scholarship Award

The Just In Time Foundation (JIT) promotes educating young people in academic excellence who live in the Houston zip code areas of 77021 & 77051. We would like to aid these students in obtaining a postsecondary education. The goal of the scholarship program is to provide assistance to outstanding students who plan to continue their education.

At the beginning of each semester, recipients must submit proof of enrollment of at least 12 credit hours. The student will receive one-half of the proceeds at the beginning of the first semester and the remaining one-half at the beginning of the second semester, with proof of maintaining a 2.0 GPA or higher in the first semester and proof of enrollment for 12 credit hours for the second semester.
