CENTRAL TEXAS SCHOLARSHIPS
AUSTIN / GEORGETOWN / ROUND ROCK / CEDAR PARK / LIBERTY HILL / HUTTO AND SURROUNDING AREAS
Many scholarships are available locally. I recommend you stop by your schools counseling office and ask for any scholarships they are aware of. In addition, most schools have a shared scholarship application that can be used to apply for many local scholarships at once. In addition to the resources offered by your school, I hope you will find these resources helpful. At IMAGINE COLLEGE COACHING, we are always eager to help our local students.
Don’t hesitate to reach out and ask us questions. http://www.imaginecollegecoaching.com/contact-us/

The Austin Alpha Foundation (AAF) was formed in 1983 as a non-profit 501C(3) organization, which takes advantage of the opportunity to address many of the prevailing and emerging issues faced by the African American and minority residents of the Austin area. The non-profit status of the foundation provides the community with opportunities to mitigate these disadvantages while making tax-deductible contributions toward the development, expansion, and evaluation of the Foundation’s public service efforts. With the organizational goal of promoting scholarship and education for youth of the Austin and surrounding areas, AAF has awarded scholarships to college-bound high school seniors for over thirty years. In addition, AAF provides support for community-based organizations, contributions to the arts and promotion of educational programs. These endeavors are supported by member volunteer fundraising and solicitation of individual and corporate contributions.
