To celebrate the life and memory of Margaret Torres, the Altar Society of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Cisco established the Margaret Torres Higher Learning Scholarship in 2017. This $1,000 scholarship, provided for the Fall Semester, promotes education for our young people – an idea that was so very important to Margaret. She was a strong believer in the value of education, having retired from Cisco ISD where she was a Teacher’s Aide helping children learn to read. We enjoyed Margaret’s wit and wisdom for over 87 years, and it is an honor to offer this scholarship in her memory.
We are proud to announce that the Holy Rosary Altar Society is able to provide two $1,000 scholarships for the 2026-2027 academic year. The first scholarship recipient this year is Angel Gonzalez. Angel started his junior year at Tarleton State University in Stephenville in this Fall 2026 semester. He plans to complete a four-year Bachelor’s degree in the Dr. Sam Pack College of Business, Undergraduate Business Program, Management Department. On campus, Angel is a member of Alpha Gamma Rho (AGR), a social and professional fraternity focused on agricultural and life sciences. The second scholarship recipient is Alayna Erwin. Alayna started her freshman year at Tarleton State University in Stephenville in this Fall 2026 semester. She plans to complete a four-year Bachelor’s degree in Bio-Medical Science in Tarleton’s PreMedical Program and aspires to become an OB-GYN medical doctor.
The Holy Rosary Altar Society is committed to offering this scholarship on an annual basis. We will raise scholarship funds throughout the coming year, including through our Magi’s Bazaar in early November. We appreciate and are so thankful for the Eastland County community support in our projects – Bless You!
