Scholarships

The first annual San Antonio Junior Forum Scholarship fund was established in 1972.

San Antonio Junior Forum has awarded more than $380,000 to students who we feel are outstanding examples of intelligent, motivated and caring individuals (1973-2023).

Each year, graduating seniors from Bexar County High Schools, are given the opportunity to apply for SAJF scholarships through the Minnie Stevens Piper Foundation's Bexar County Scholarship Clearing House.

San Antonio Junior Forum offers a minimum of three scholarships annually.  Other scholarships may be offered to graduating seniors if funds are available. The following is a list of scholarships offered:
