Lilly Tyler, a student at Granbury High School, has been awarded a prestigious national $25,000 college scholarship from the Horatio Alger Association, a nonprofit educational organization that honors the achievements of outstanding leaders.
Tyler has been named a Horatio Alger National Scholar for 2025. The scholarship supports promising young people to pursue higher education and technical scholarships. This honor celebrates Tyler’s exceptional perseverance and commitment to education despite facing significant personal challenges.
The Horatio Alger Association was established in 1947 to reinforce belief in the American Dream and inspire young people to strive for their highest potential.
Since the establishment of its scholarship programs in 1984, it has become one of the largest privately funded, need-based scholarship providers in the United States. These scholarships serve as a powerful symbol of recognition of the scholars’ character and of the belief placed in their future.
This HAA scholarship will provide Tyler with financial resources and programming to support her academic career, including financial aid counseling, college selection advising, access to dedicated mentors and free mental health counseling.
