Student Resources
HERE ARE SOME RESOURCES AND TIPS TO HELP YOU IN YOUR SEARCH FOR SCHOLARSHIPS AND FINANCIAL AID.
SCHOLARSHIPS
College is about more than earning a degree. It is about encountering different people and cultures in a place where you are encouraged to open your mind to new ideas. Providing scholarships are one way we help students get there to help put them on a path to success and open up a world of possibilities.
LOCAL AND NATIONAL
SCHOLARSHIP RESOURCES
The U.S. Department of Education Federal Student Aid program ensures all eligible individuals can benefit from federally funded financial assistance for education beyond high school. Students must file a FAFSA each year to determine their eligibility for federal aid. Here are resources to help:
- Sign up for a Federal Student Aid PIN, which allows you to electronically apply for federal student aid and access your records online.
- Use the Federal School Code Search to search for colleges you are interested in including on your FAFSA.
Students classified as Texas residents who are not eligible to apply for FAFSA, may be eligible to complete the Texas Application for State Financial Aid (TASFA).

Thank you San Antonio Area Foundation for the generous scholarship. With my scholarship, I will go on to complete my college education in New York City, and hopefully come back to San Antonio after grad school to give back to our community.​
