Donors are the HEART of our Scholarships!

There are MANY opportunities to support SAISD’s growing number of College Bound students (over 50% for the Class of 2018 and growing)!

Donors have supported the students in SAISD, in many cases honoring the lives of, and creating a legacy for, SAISD alumni. This time of year is such an inspiring time to be involved with those families who are investing in creating opportunities for this generation.

Congratulations to all of our Scholarship Recipients and to the 2019 Graduating Class of SAISD!

Juan Luna, Brackenridge Class of 2013 and one of the first participants in the College Tour program, shared his personal story and insight to those in attendance at the Shining Scholars and College Commitment Ceremony at the Alamo Convocation Center on May 15. Luna was accepted into Yale Law School and credits his participation in the College Tour program for showing him what is possible. He was also a four year SAISD Foundation scholarship recipient with a 4.0 GPA from Texas A&M College Station. As a scholarship recipient, he shared that without worry of financial hardship, he was able to focus solely on his academics which contributed to his success.
