Established in 2016, our four-year scholarship program provides financial assistance to graduating high school seniors who exhibit strong academic potential, a commitment to serving others, and demonstrated financial need. This initiative supports students in their pursuit of higher education and empowers the next generation of community leaders.
MESA-OUTREACH, INC. is proud to announce that Yaseen Moustafa, a graduate of Bridgeland High School, has been selected as the recipient of the 2026 MESA Scholarship.
Yaseen has distinguished himself through his academic achievement, dedication to serving others, and commitment to making a positive impact in his community. His hard work and determination embody the values that the MESA Scholarship Program was created to recognize and support.
We were honored to present Yaseen with his scholarship during Bridgeland High School’s recent awards ceremony. A special thank you to our Board Representative, Michael TonNu, for representing MESA-OUTREACH and helping celebrate this exciting milestone with Yaseen and his family.
This fall, Yaseen will begin his college journey at Lone Star College, where he plans to study accounting before transferring to the University of Houston to complete his bachelor’s degree. We are confident he has a bright future ahead and look forward to seeing all he accomplishes.
The MESA Scholarship Program exists to invest in students who demonstrate academic promise, perseverance, and a commitment to their communities. We are honored to play a small part in helping students like Yaseen pursue their educational goals.
Congratulations, Yaseen! We wish you continued success as you begin this exciting new chapter.
