THECB STAR AWARD aligns with the Achieve the Dream Initiative in Closing the Gaps in Higher Education
• The Star Award began in 2001 to recognize educational institutions, groups and individuals for their exceptional contributions toward one or more of the goals of “Closing the Gaps by 2015” in the Higher Education Plan for Texas.

THECB STAR AWARD REQUIREMENTS
• The plan’s four goals in closing the gap are participation, success, excellence and research. To meet the goals and thus earn the high award, LSC-Kingwood had an outstanding contribution to achieving the goals and targets in “Closing the Gaps,” had at least two years of successful outcomes, and had a history of excellence in academic instruction, student support services or partnerships.
