AUSTIN ALPHA

The Austin Alpha Foundation

The chapter’s 501(c)(3) nonprofit arm since 1983, providing scholarships for Austin-area students and programs that answer the needs of the communities we serve.

Our history

Four decades of investment

Our mission

The mission of Austin Alpha Foundation is to expand and develop initiatives that benefit Austin residents: garner and direct resources that facilitate and empower community development and self-sufficiency; expand outreach efforts through strategic partnerships with corporations, governmental entities, community-based organizations, foundations, and other interested parties.

Scholarships

Applying for a scholarship

Scholarship awards are the Foundation’s oldest work: money, given once a year, to Austin students on their way to college.

  1. Confirm you qualify

    Awards go to graduating high school seniors in the Greater Austin area.

  2. Prepare your materials

    Have your academic record and everything else the application asks for ready before the window opens. Nothing about it should be rushed at the deadline.

  3. Apply before the deadline

    The Foundation’s scholarship committee reviews every application that arrives on time.

Dates, award amounts and the application for the coming year are posted here as soon as the committee opens the cycle. Until then, write to us and we will let you know when it does.

Put a student through

The Foundation is funded by brothers, families and neighbors who give. There is no endowment behind it. A gift of any size goes to the scholarships and the programs, and it is tax-deductible.
