Alamo Colleges Foundation Scholarships Process

Scholarship Essay

The scholarship application has several short essay questions giving you an opportunity to introduce yourself and discuss your educational, career and life goals.

The scholarship application essay is reviewed by scholarship judges and selection committees. In addition to GPA, volunteerism, leadership, community service, military service, employment, and extracurricular activities, your essay should set you apart and let scholarship judges and committee members know why they should rate your application above all the other applicants.
