The Harrison Foundation is pleased to provide a $1,000 academic scholarship to Gracelyn Swedlund.

Gracelyn is attending the University of Texas at San Antonio under the UT Austin Coordinated Admissions Program (CAP). Gracelyn plans to major in Education with a focus on Early Childhood Education. She will transfer to the University of Austin under the CAP program. She then plans to continue with her master’s in education, where she will gain the opportunity to become part of the administration of education right here in Texas.

Prior to her acceptance into the University of Texas at San Antonio, Gracelyn excelled at cheerleading. She achieved NCA Champion, 2x NCA Bronze Medalist, 3x Summit Finalist, 2x UCA All-American Cheerleader, Game Day High School Cheer Captain, Veteran Of the Year Award, Leadership Award, Homecoming Princess, and UTSA Coed Cheer Team.

She volunteers at the All-Star gym, Tech Cheer and was a volunteer coach for the gym’s Cheer Abilities Team (Gold Rush).

Gracelyn wants to continue her love for cheerleading, by coaching an All-Star team, coach at the high school level, or opening her own cheer gym.

Academically, Gracelyn graduated Top 9% of her class with a 4.24gpa. An AP student passing all her AP Test for college credit. An AP Scholar (2024), AP Scholar with Honor (2025), National Jr. Honor Society, and National Honor Society.

When asked, “What is the one thing she would change about the world?” Gracelyn replied, “Improve humanity through world peace… I can't advocate for world peace if I don't practice peace in my everyday life. This includes staying calm in conflicts, forgiving others, and modeling what it means to be kind. Random acts of kindness to friends, family, and strangers will go a long way, because no matter how big or small, it can inspire others to act with more compassion. Every positive action brings us one step closer to a future where peace is a reality.”

The Harrison Foundation, Inc., is pleased to provide a $1,000 academic scholarship to Luna Del Valle.

Luna is attending Texas Lutheran University in Seguin, Texas, where she plans to major in Psychology and minor in Communications. Her next step is to intern or work as a child psychologist assistant while pursuing her master's degree to become a child psychologist. Luna’s goal is to help children from the ages 3-18 in need who’ve suffered from traumatizing situations.

Prior to being accepted into Texas Lutheran University, Luna graduated with a 2.8gpa with a focus in Fine Arts. Luna was a 2-year Varsity Dance Team member, a recipient of the Senior Scarlet (dance) Award, and was a member of the Women’s Empowerment Club. In her Junior year, she and her team broke the school track record in the 4x100 relay. She was also a track state qualifier in the 100m dash and received the Female Sprinter of the Year award. Luna also volunteers supporting the Special Olympics.

When asked, “What is the one thing she would change about the world?” Luna replied, “I would help people become more compassionate and empathetic.” Luna believes in her heart, “empathy is the root of many problems. We are divided by race, politics, religion, bullying, poverty, discrimination, and violence. These things are caused when people stop seeing each other as humans with real feelings.”

These are the words of our future leader.

I haven’t seen my cousin since we were kids, but I know his heart is completely broken. He has lost both of his teenage children, different circumstances, 9 months apart. A parent is not meant to ever have to bury their child. Hug yours tight. Tomorrow is promised to no one. 💔
