A Scholarship Can Change Everything

For many Central Texas students, a scholarship is not just financial relief. It is proof that someone believes in them. Your gift provides vital support that makes opportunities possible and opens doors to higher education.

What a Scholarship Really Does

Think about what it means to a student who has been wondering how to pay for college. Or a parent returning to school after years away. Or a student who is the first in their family to pursue higher education.

A scholarship motivates them to keep going.

Since 1997, the ACC Foundation has awarded over $20 million in scholarships to students across Central Texas. Each of these scholarships allows students to thrive at ACC and beyond the classroom.

STUDENT VOICES

In Their Own Words

I am a student pursuing an Associate of Arts degree while exploring a future career in social work, public policy, and community advocacy. As a non-traditional student, returning to college has been both a personal and professional milestone. It represents an opportunity to build a meaningful career dedicated to helping others overcome barriers and create positive change.

ACC Scholarship Recipient

This scholarship means so much to me because it helps take away some of the financial stress that comes with going to college. It allows me to focus more on my education, continue working toward my degree, and build a better future for my daughter and me. Thank you again for your kindness and generosity. Your support means more than you know, and I'm truly grateful for the opportunity that you have given me.

Caring About Students is the Key to Success

“It is amazing what one person can do when they show care and support for students balancing work, family, and education. I am a true believer in open access to community college and reinvesting to support those who follow. Making these contributions is a wonderful and rewarding investment—you see the immediate, powerful impact as students gain the financial backing they need to keep moving forward without giving up on their dream.”
