(TEXAS CITY) - Bruce Latimer, a retired Houston homebuilder who lives Santa Fe, has endowed a new scholarship at College of the Mainland. The Bruce and Nadine Latimer Memorial Scholarship will be awarded each spring to a student from Santa Fe High School or the school district.

Latimer, who is retired from homebuilding but still active in real estate, wanted to set up a memorial scholarship after his wife passed away in July. Nadine Latimer was a COM alumna as she completed a basic clerical skills certificate program and proudly displayed the certificate in their home office.

The first award will be presented to a 2010 graduate of Santa Fe High School with a minimum 2.5 GPA for the academic year.
