University of Houston

The Foundation is proud of its $100,000 grant to the University of Houston to create The Wayne B. Duddlesten, Sr., Tier One Scholarship. This grant was matched dollar-for-dollar by the university, to establish a $200,000 permanent endowment. 

The University of Houston (UH) Tier One Scholarship Program is a distinguished, high-profile award program intended to attract highly qualified students to UH. This endowment serves as a lasting tribute to honor Mr. Duddlesten’s life, and solidify his legacy as a proud Houstonian and as a notable contributor to the community.
