The San Angelo Area Foundation manages scholarship funds from a variety of different donors and organizations. These scholarships are awarded by a variety of selection criteria, unique to each fund. Independent review committees review each application which is then matched to the scholarship criteria selected by the donor or the organization which established the scholarship.

Providing donors and organizations the ability to create scholarship funds for area youth has been a Foundation priority from the beginning. Scholarships at the Foundation can be as broad or as specific as a donor wishes. The Foundation works closely with each donor to fulfill the donor's philanthropic desires.

Scholarships are limited to students from the San Angelo Area.

One scholarship application (download in your choice of format: PDF | Word) can be completed by a student who desires to be considered for one or any of the scholarships of the San Angelo Area Foundation. If the application is to be considered for a specific endowed fund, the student should indicate so in a cover letter with the application. Amounts and number of scholarship awards vary and depend upon the value and performance of each fund, number of recipients selected and an amount available for distribution from the fund. Some scholarships are available to graduating high school seniors while others are limited to current college students. All scholarship applications should include at least two letters of recommendations, not including any family members and at least one letter outside of school faculty. Applications are accepted annually from January until March 1st. Notifications of awards are made by May 10th of each year, with payment of awards occurring two weeks prior to the start of the following semester.

We will begin accepting scholarship applications from January 1, 2008 through March 1, 2008, for students attending college in the fall of 2008. Extra consideration will be given for applications received before February 15.
