Texas Mutual®
Scholarship Program

Texas Mutual Insurance Company offers college scholarships to qualified surviving family members of employees who die from an on-the-job accident, and to persons whose injuries qualify them for lifetime income benefits (LIBs) pursuant to the Texas Workers’ Compensation Act and their spouses and unmarried children. The Texas Mutual® scholarship program provides up to $4,000 for tuition and fees per individual per semester. Limited assistance is also available for course-related books and supplies.

“As a company, our goal is not only to reduce the number of work-related injuries and illnesses in Texas, but also to help minimize their consequences,” said President Russell Oliver. “In the case of a work-related fatality, we hope that a scholarship might serve as part of the deceased employee’s legacy to his or her family, thereby reducing the family’s financial burden. We also want persons whose severe injuries qualify them for lifetime income benefits under the Texas Workers’ Compensation Act, and their families, to have a chance to pursue education and training to help them build better futures.”

Scholarship qualifications
The Texas Mutual® scholarship program is open to:

  • surviving, unmarried spouses and unmarried surviving children of an individual who died as a result of a work-related injury,
  • persons whose severe injuries qualify them for lifetime income benefits (LIBs) under the Texas Workers’ Compensation Act,
  • the spouses and unmarried children of persons whose severe injuries qualify them for LIBs under the Texas Workers’ Compensation Act.

The employee’s company must have been a Texas Mutual® policyholder at the time of the accident.

The Texas Mutual® scholarship program is not an automatic benefit. The decision to offer a scholarship rests solely with Texas Mutual Insurance Company and may be altered or discontinued at any time without notice.
