Trevor White
Trevor White is a senior at Hyde Park High School in Austin with a 3.62 GPA. He plans to attend Baylor University and major in Psychology and Education. He is an Eagle Scout, a member of Top Teens of America, a member of Jack and Jill of America. Trevor was a Broadway Bound Summer Camp Volunteer at the Carver Museum for several years and he was a member of the varsity football, basketball, and Track team. In addition, he was a member of the Drumline for the Band. Trever said in his essay, “My awareness of who I need to be as a productive member of society was enhanced because of childhood experiences, including participating as a young student every summer in Broadway Bound Summer Camp. With the confidence gained in Broadway Bound, I also auditioned for the lead tenor in my school’s competitive choir, where I earned the role all four years. If awarded the GWCA Scholarship, I will have the opportunity and financial assistance to achieve my goals while pursuing higher education.”
