Alamo Colleges Foundation focuses on helping students through 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.
