Each year, Robert Peltier awards forty (40) individuals with the Peltier Teacher’s Scholarship Program to outstanding students across East Texas. The scholarship is available to any East Texas student that is graduating high school or currently enrolled in college as an undergraduate. Additionally, the student must have a parent that is an educator (teachers, administrators or paraprofessional). These forty (40) scholarships are given out annually to help families offset the cost of tuition, fees, books, room and board.

This past week Brook Hill’s Kyle Regester got a surprise visit from Peltier who presented him with a Cookie Cake and scholarship certificate as a winner of one of these scholarships!
