BHS scholarships

The Alumni and Friends of Bellaire High School awarded scholarships for the 2020-21 school year.

This year, six $2,000 scholarships were awarded to Binze Li, UCLA; Arianna Zhao, Rice University; Carol Argenal, Houston Community College; Jimmy Xin, The University of Texas; Thomas Lai, Prairie View A&M; and Marina Gago, Texas Tech. This year’s recipient of the scholarship in memory of math teacher Sherry Senior is Peyton Richardson, who plans to attend Notre Dame.
