The Cailloux Foundation Scholarship Program was established by the Floyd A. and Kathleen C. Cailloux Foundation to assist high school seniors from selected Texas Hill Country communities who plan to continue higher education in college or university programs. Renewable scholarships are offered each year, up to three years, for full-time study at any accredited four-year public or private college or university in the State of Texas. To assure complete impartiality in selection of recipients and to maintain a high level of professionalism, the program is administered by  Scholarship Program Administrators, Inc., a firm that specializes in managing sponsored scholarship programs.
