Since 2008, Austin Community Foundation has helped distribute more than $9.9 million in scholarship awards to 5,448 aspiring and current students. We partner with community leaders, philanthropists and educators to support the educational goals of students as well as the charitable wishes of our donors.
“Your kindness and commitment to investing in students like me mean more than words can fully express, and I am so honored to be a recipient of your support. My long-term goal is to. pursue a career as a nurse practitioner. Your investment in my education is an investment in the patients and communities I will one day serve. I am committed to honoring your gift through dedication, compassion, and a lifelong pursuit of excellence in nursing.”
“This scholarship will help reduce the financial stress of college expenses such as housing, books, and supplies, allowing me to focus more on my education and future career goals. Growing up in a single-parent household, I have always understood the importance of educational opportunities and financial support. Thank you for investing in my future and helping make my educational goals possible.”
“This money will allow me to spend more time searching for internships and building better connections with students and professors, rather than working my restaurant job. At the University of Texas at Austin, I want to be a part of the Ferguson Structural Engineering Laboratory, a structural testing facility that enables large-scale studies of structural behavior, and with more free time, this is a possibility.”
Austin Futures is a pooled scholarship fund that helps students access the education needed to achieve economic mobility.
