According to a media release by the foundation,
San Antonio Area Foundation scholarship awards are made from individual scholarship funds held at the Area Foundation. Volunteer scholarship selection committees carefully review all applications and select recipients based on availability of funds and the competitiveness of the applicant pool. Following review, the committees make funding recommendations to the Area Foundation’s Board of Directors for final approval.
