Sponsor a Scholarship

SAISD Graduates Have ReceivedMore Than 200 Scholarship Awards

Each year, the SAISD Foundation supports more than 200 student scholarships and emergency gap funding awards to support postsecondary education for our students graduating from SAISD schools. The SAISD Foundation accepts funds from alumni, businesses, and community donors to support the dreams of SAISD students by providing funding to support these scholarships and awards.

If you are interested in creating a scholarship please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Also, if you are a college student who has benefited from a scholarship, we want to hear your story.

Establish a Student Scholarship

We accept one-time, multi-year, and endowed scholarships to support students in their postsecondary education. Scholarships are designed to meet both donor intent and the needs of our students. Scholarships can be district-wide, multi-high school, or focused on students graduating from a specific high school or program in SAISD.  Scholarships may be in someone’s memory, designed to honor someone, or can commemorate an alumni class reunion or special event.  Interested? We would like to visit on how you can make a difference in the lives of our students for years to come.  Already know you want to get started?  Visit the section below.  Visit the Scholarships page to view scholarships managed fiscally by the SAISD Foundation.
