SALE Scholarship-Alamo Colleges
The ACCD and the San Antonio Livestock Exposition are looking for
excellent students who want challenging and rewarding careers which can have a major impact upon the quality of life in tomorrow’s farming and ranching communities.
If you are going to be just starting your college education and pursuing courses as a full time student leading to a degree in any of the declared majors indicated in the attached listings, and you have strong academic potential and motivation as demonstrated by your high school GPA, then you should apply for an ACCD Foundation S.A.L.E. Scholarship.
These Scholarships are available to students who will enroll in one of the Alamo Colleges (currently Palo Alto College, San Antonio College, St. Philip’s College, Northwest Vista College, or Northeast Lakeview College) as a full time student (minimum of 12 credit hours per semester) for two complete academic years, completing their freshman and sophomore years if pursuing a baccalaureate degree major prior to transferring to a senior institution, or completing an associates degree major as conferred by one of the ACCD Colleges. Twelve (12) credit hours must be completed each regular semester to qualify for funding in the subsequent semester (i.e. a S.A.L.E. Scholarship recipient is not to withdraw from courses that would result in not completing at least 12 credit hours per semester. One semester may be forgiven for extenuating circumstances).
Scholarship candidates must also be a citizen or permanent resident of the United States, and must have been a resident of Bexar, Atascosa, Bandera, Comal, Gillespie, Guadalupe, Kendall, Medina, Wilson, Frio, Karnes or Kerr counties in Texas for at least six (6) months prior to the application being submitted. Scholarship candidates must have earned a minimum cumulative high school grade point average of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale to qualify. A grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 each semester in college, not cumulative, must be maintained to qualify for funding each subsequent semester (one semester may be forgiven for extenuating circumstances).
The Scholarship is for $1,000 per semester for two consecutive academic years for tuition, fees, books and required materials for a total of $4,000.

HOW TO APPLY FOR
AN ACCD FOUNDATION SAN ANTONIO LIVESTOCK EXPOSITION (S.A.L.E.) SCHOLARSHIP
(Revised February 27, 2009)
General instructions: S.A.L.E.
Scholarships for students enrolled at a college of the Alamo Community College
District may be submitted two times during the year: April, or August. As the
number of available S.A.L.E. Scholarships is always limited, it is always a wise
choice to participate in this first application cycle, if possible.
The April and August submission times are for both current high school students
about to graduate, and for those who have already graduated from high school.
Again, it is always wise to submit an application at the earliest possible
submission time, as the number of available S.A.L.E. Scholarships decrease with
each cycle. All submissions are for scholarships that begin with the following
Fall Semester (however, a student may opt to accelerate their enrollment and
scholarship award as early as the Summer Sessions with appropriate counseling).
Scholarship recipients are normally selected within 4 to 6 weeks after each
application submission time. An interview may be required. Complete this
application COVER SHEET and submit with all required attachments to: S.A.L.E.
