Congressman Nathaniel Moran Honors 2nd Annual Texas Congressional Service Award Winners

Congressman Nathaniel Moran (TX-01) proudly recognized this year’s recipients of the Texas First Congressional Award, an annual honor he created to spotlight outstanding high school students across the First District of Texas. Now in its second year, the award celebrates young leaders who demonstrate exceptional character, service, and commitment to their communities. “I am thrilled to announce this year’s recipients of the Texas First Congressional Service Award,” said Congressman Moran. “Each of these students has answered the call to serve with humility, dedication, and purpose. Their leadership is sincere, their impact is real, and their example is powerful. I’m confident that their service will inspire even more young Texans to step up and give back in the years ahead.” The Texas First Congressional Service Award is not a scholarship, but a distinct honor designed to recognize students in the First Congressional District of Texas who have demonstrated a strong commitment to service. Schools are encouraged to nominate one male and one female student, ideally in their junior or senior year. To learn more or submit a nomination, please email Robbin.Bass@mail.house.gov.
