U.S. Representative Nathaniel Moran (TX-01) announced the 2026 recipients of the third annual Texas First Congressional Service Award. The award exemplifies the spirit of community, leadership, and dedication to service that defines the students of East Texas.
“It is an incredible honor to recognize the next generation of East Texas leaders through the Texas First Congressional Award,” said Rep. Moran. “Each of these students embodies the values that make our communities strong—hard work, integrity, and a heart for service. I applaud each of them for going above and beyond to serve their schools, communities, and our great state of Texas.”
The Texas First Congressional Service Award is not a scholarship, but rather a service award to recognize deserving students in the First Congressional District of Texas. Nominees should be one male and one female from each school, preferably at the junior or senior level.
