TIFFANY L HOUSE MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP: Bexar Concrete Works

 Tiffany House HeadshotTiffany L. House spent 25 years in the precast prestressed concrete industry. Tiffany passed away in 2025, after a courageous battle with Pompe disease, a rare and progressive muscle disease. One of the first and most severe symptoms she experienced was a rapid decline in respiratory function, which ultimately required her to be on a ventilator 24 hours a day. Despite these challenges, Tiffany faced her illness with extraordinary strength, resilience, and grace, continuing to live a full and meaningful life.

The Tiffany L. House Memorial Scholarships celebrate her accomplishments, achieved despite the severe challenges of her disease, that stand as a testament to her resilience, intellect, and drive. Tiffany’s determination to succeed, no matter the obstacles, has left a legacy of inspiration.

Tiffany’s intellect, determination, and unwavering commitment to making a difference were hallmarks of her life. She graduated with both a bachelor’s and master’s degree from the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) and went on to graduate summa cum laude from St. Mary’s University Law School. Tiffany’s accomplishments were more remarkable given the physical challenges posed by her disease. Her legal career included practicing law at Bexar Concrete Works, a family-owned business, where she contributed her talents to support the company’s success.

Beyond her legal work, Tiffany made a lasting impact in the Pompe disease community. She was the President of the AMDA-Pompe Association in the United States and served as the Chair of the International Pompe Association (IPA), a worldwide patient support group. In these roles, she was an advocate for Pompe disease patients, helping raise awareness, providing support, and funding critical research. Tiffany was instrumental in the establishment and development of the PCMA Pull for Pompe. Now in its 15th year, it is sponsored by the Precast Concrete Manufacturers’ Association (PCMA). The proceeds from this fundraiser help fund global research grants to advance the understanding and treatment of Pompe disease.

AIMED AT Engineering Students at Texas A&M University (TAMU) or the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA).
