         RECOGNIZING THE 2013 WOODHAVEN SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS

  (Mr. VEASEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. VEASEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor eight exceptional 
students from my hometown of Fort Worth, Texas, who are all Woodhaven 
Scholarship recipients.
  Ambar Aguilera from Amon Carter-Riverside High School, Carolyn 
Estrada and Rasheda Bellat, Eastern Hills High School, Maria Barragan 
at Nolan Catholic High School, Ta'lor at Dunbar High School, Kimberlee 
Sims at Temple Christian School, David Detrick at Polytechnic High 
School, and Sierra Wilson at Northside High School.
  Created in 1998 to support the educational needs of the East Fort 
Worth community, the Woodhaven Scholarship helps students who are 
looking to pursue their dream of higher education.
  Woodhaven Scholarships are given to East Fort Worth high school 
seniors who plan to attend Texas colleges and universities. 
Scholarships are awarded to students attending 4-year institutions as 
well as those attending 2-year colleges. The funds can be used for 
college tuition, educational fees, equipment, supplies, as well as on-
campus housing expenses.
  The eight students chosen will spread their talents across different 
prestigious institutions in the great State of Texas. I'm sure they 
will continue to succeed in their pursuit of higher education.
  Mr. Speaker, again I would like to congratulate these students on 
their accomplishments and the honors presented to them.
