AFFCU Scholarship Program
Helping You Achieve Your Goals
We understand the academic and financial commitment that high education plays in a person's life. That's why we established the AFFCU Scholarship Program in partnership with the Minnie Stevens Piper Foundation.
Each year, we proudly award five $5,000 scholarships to deserving students in our communities who are planning on attending an accredited public or private college, university, community college, or technical college. Selection is based on the applicant’s service in the community, academic performance, leadership, and financial need.
San Antonio area high school seniors should ask their school counselors for the Bexar County Scholarship Clearing House/Minnie Stevens Piper Foundation Scholarship Application. By using this comprehensive application, a student will be applying for the
AFFCU Scholarship Program, as well as many other scholarships.
If a student does not live in San Antonio or is unable to get the application directly from their high school counselor, they can download the application from our website when it becomes available.
