Carson's Legacy

Agriculture, Leadership & Service

The Carson Collins Agricultural Scholarship was created to honor Carson’s life, his love of agriculture, and the values he shared with those around him.

Carson, his grandfather, his two brothers, and his cousin were tragically killed at their family ranch in Centerville, Texas. Their loss deeply impacted the Collins family and the community, and Carson’s legacy continues to be remembered and honored.

This scholarship carries that legacy forward by awarding one $10,000 scholarship each year to a graduating Tomball ISD senior who demonstrates a meaningful commitment to agriculture, FFA, hard work, leadership, and service.

It is intended for a student who understands that agriculture is about more than projects and competition. It is about responsibility, perseverance, growth, and serving others.

If you are an active Tomball ISD FFA member, have participated in agricultural projects and the Tomball ISD Annual FFA Project Show, and are preparing for your next chapter after graduation, we invite you to apply.
