"All for One, One for All"

LULAC ACCD Parent/Child Scholarship


HISTORY

In 1997 a partnership was developed between the Alamo Community College District (ACCD) Foundation, the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) Council No. 2, and the San Antonio College Women’s Center to create the LULAC-Reina de la Feria de las Flores Parent Child Scholarship Program.

The LULAC Scholarship committee has donated a minimum of $25,000 each year to establish a scholarship endowment in the name of the participant’s child. The ACCD Foundation matches the $25,000 by providing each parent selected for the program with a $1,000 scholarship to assist the parents in educational expenses.
