Last week, 26 of our Palominos were awarded scholarships through the Rey Feo Scholarship Foundation, helping support their educational journeys and future goals! ✨

Since 1947, the Foundation has invested in the future of San Antonio students by providing financial assistance to help make higher education more accessible. These scholarships help students pursue their academic goals while easing some of the financial challenges that come with college.

A big thank-you to the Rey Feo Scholarship Foundation for its continued commitment to education and dedication to helping students succeed. We’re to see our students supported by a community that believes in their potential! ❤️
