The 2021-2022 Big Tex Scholarship application is now live –  the deadline is February 1, 2022. You can find the (newly renamed) Juanita Craft Scholarship application at BigTex.com/Scholarship. 

We have decided to extend the test-optional policy due to COVID-19 for the 2021-2022 application year. The policy is as follows:  

When applying for a Big Tex Scholarship, ACT and SAT scores are entirely optional, meaning students can choose whether or not to add them to their application. In other words, students get to decide how they want to present themselves in the application process. For 2021/2022, test scores will not be considered in the formal scoring process. If  test scores are submitted, the committee will only use to better understand the student’s overall academic performance.
