The Austin Hodge Memorial Scholarship honors the memory of Austin Hodge, who passed away after a courageous battle with Cystic Fibrosis on March 3, 2023. Austin did not “lose” this battle.  He finished the race set before him, and he was welcomed home to the words of Jesus, “well done good and faithful servant.”  Victory.

With his unwavering positivity, grit, and integrity, Austin was an inspiration to those who knew him by remaining steadfast even in the midst of the most challenging of circumstances.

"Austin fought the good fight, he has finished the race, he kept the faith. Henceforth, there is laid up for Austin the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, awarded to Austin on that day, and not only to Austin but also to all who have loved his appearing." 2 Timothy 4:7-8

This scholarship celebrates his legacy by recognizing a Texas Twelve athlete who reflects Austin’s character, which includes infectious positivity, grit, and integrity.  Additionally, the scholarship is meant to honor Austin’s steadfast faith and trust in Jesus, come what may.  Applicants will need to exhibit the same character and commitment to live for the Lord.
