Texas Big Game Award
In order to preserve this legacy for future generations, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) and the Texas Wildlife Association (TWA) worked together to develop the Texas Big Game Awards (TBGA). TBGA continues to be the leader in promoting education and recognition of quality habitat and quality wildlife in Texas.
The purpose of the TBGA is to promote awareness about wildlife management and the role that hunting plays in habitat conservation, and to foster cooperation among stakeholders who ensure that our state's wildlife habitat is conserved forever.

Scholarships are open to any graduating high school senior, entering college freshman, sophomore, or junior. Students do not have to participate in the TBGA to be eligible for these scholarships, but those who have entered the Texas Big Game Awards
will receive a preference point during the scoring process.
