Hear What Our Past Scholarship Winners Have to Say:
“I am truly honored and appreciative to be the recipient of this scholarship. I chose to attend Northwest Vista because of their amazingly low tuition rates. As a minority student going to college, there are challenges like the high prices of gas, food, books and tuition. This scholarship has alleviated some of that burden.”

“This scholarship allows me to confidently continue my education into my second semester and save up for the rest of my college career. My goal is to transfer to UTSA to obtain my Bachelor’s in Communications with the hopes of becoming a graphic designer at my current job.”

“What does SAABJ mean to me? –The difference between having a map versus none when traveling an unknown path. They took interest in me when no one else did and have mentored and developed me as person. I feel like I will be so much more prepared me to enter the workforce when I graduate.”
– SAABJ Scholarship Winner Alexia Hall
“The scholarship not only gave me the opportunity to continue my education, but the recognition gave me the confidence to say that I am indeed pursuing the right field of work. I am humbled by SAABJ and grateful for not only the scholarship, but the luminaries of journalism who recognized my skill and my passion to change the world through media.”
