Alamo Colleges Foundation is the philanthropic arm of the Alamo Colleges. Our focus is scholarships — life-changing gifts that help students come in and stay in and achieve their dreams of a college education. Scholarship eligibility is based on various factors such as academic merit, program of study, community service, extracurricular activities, residency, campus/club organization, and/or financial need. Foundation scholarships are awarded and administered without regard to race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin. All students are invited to apply for available scholarships.

To apply for 2025-2026 scholarships, CLICK THE BLUE “Sign In” box above, log in with your Student ACES credentials and complete your application.

You will submit one General Scholarship Application to be considered for all Alamo Colleges Foundation Scholarships.
