One of the main programs we support is with the Alamo Community Collage District. The Tom Morton Parent - Child Scholarship helps those who want to go to school and fulfill a college degree. History
In 1997, a partnership was formalized between the Alamo Colleges Foundation, the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) Council #2, and the San Antonio College Women’s Center to create the LU
LAC Parent/Child Scholarship Program. The program seeks to ensure the educational success of two generations by providing support, financial assistance and the incentive of a full scholarship for the child of a parent who completes their educational objective at an Alamo College. Each year Original LULAC Council No. 2 donates $1,000 for the child of each participant selected to the program in order to establish an educational endowment on their behalf. Requirements
Participants selected for the program must enroll for the upcoming fall semester and commit to completing their educational objective, be the parent of a child age six or younger, have no more than 30 college level credit hours, meet Alamo Colleges Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP), and complete the Alamo Colleges Foundation General scholarship Application. Benefits
Parents Scholars selected for the scholarship receive a $1,000 scholarship, provided by the Alamo Colleges Foundation, to be distributed over four consecutive semesters to assist with their educational expenses. Parents also receive one-on-one advisement, continuous monitoring of their progress and extensive supportive services provided by the San Antonio College Women’s Center. Once the parent completes their stated educational objective (certificate, associates degree or first part of a transfer program), their child (2nd Gen Scholar) is entitled to a two year scholarship to attend any of the Alamo Colleges upon the child’s high school graduation. Impact
Since 2010, 344 students have been awarded the LULAC Parent scholarship, and 63 children have claimed their LULAC Child scholarship. If you have any questions about the program please send us a message.
