The Richard and Martha Landsman UTSA/Community Service Scholarship application for 2009 can be accessed by clicking here. The four-year tuition scholarship, created by the Landsmans in 1993, is awarded annually to a deserving high school senior who needs financial assistance to attend UTSA, has maintained a grade point average of at least 2.0 and has demonstrated outstanding community service and traits. The Landsman award for 2009 will be presented at United Way’s annual Night of a Thousand Stars Volunteer of the Year Awards dinner held at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in June 2009.
Gabriella “Gabby” Gaskin-Cole, a Judson High School senior, was selected as the 2008 recipient of the scholarship. Not only did Gaskin-Cole excel in her rigorous academic coursework for the International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma program, she also performed well in the community. She made it a priority to serve the Red Cross at Brooke Army Medical Center; the Salvation Army Angel Tree project, providing gifts to children whose parents are in prison; the Ronald McDonald House, and the Converse Animal Shelter. Working on elementary school fundraisers, playing piano for senior citizens at the nursing home and collecting and delivering food to local families for Thanksgiving help round out Gaskin-Cole’s commitment to others.
