Aspiring Athletes, Committed Students
HSFE raises funds to provide scholarship assistance to aspiring students. We have provided opportunities primarily to two groups: student athletes and participants in Project STAY, both located in San Antonio. Occasionally, we consider requests from outside those two groups.
Project STAY: Finding Scholars and Helping them Stay on Track
Project STAY, Inc. is a Department of Education-funded organization with an Education Talent Search program that works with high school students to guide them on a college path that includes a rigorous academic curriculum. Project STAY encourages college-bound students to apply for scholarships, including HSFE scholarships. Project STAY provides us those applications that qualify for our scholarship. We are proud to offer these under-privileged youth a hand up to help them realize their true calling, pursue a college degree, and go on to lead and serve; the vast majority of these winners are Hispanic. We have provided 165 scholarships as of 2023.
COMPLETE LIST OF SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS
The names are grouped by the year in which we awarded the scholarship, with the most recent year first. The scholarships had been for $1,000 but in 2023 we increased the amount to $1,500 to adjust for inflation since 2006. Those entries with the name of a sport are the ones awarded to student athletes to supplement the partial athletic scholarship being provided by the college.
Since 2019 we have also given each scholarship recipient a copy of the book Getting Over the Four Hurdles of Life, by Coach Dale Brown (head basketball coach at Louisiana State University, 1972-1997). This has been possible because of Coach Brown’s generous donation of 100 books to HSFE.
