Scholarships

Four scholarships are presented annually to qualified women pursuing education with the Alamo Community College District.  Scholarship recipients are chosen based on personal and financial need, goals and overall educational pursuits.  The funds may be used for tuition, books or college related expenses.

The purpose of these scholarships are to free women from the bonds that lack of education produces and assist them in achieving their highest goals.  Scholarship recipients have accomplished such things as business ownership, doctorate degrees and organizational leadership. 

Celebrating the Life of  Carla Buchanan

Carla Buchanan was a force of nature in the music business, in her fight against cancer and in women's issues. She was a Network Power/Texas board member and worked tirelessly to help women gain self sufficiency. 

 

When Carla lost her long battle with breast cancer, Network Power/Texas established the Carla Buchanan scholarship fund in her honor.

This $250 scholarship is presented annually through St. Philips College to a female student who is seeking to move her life forward through education.  Interested students may contact the St. Philips College Financial Aid Office.

 

Celebrating the Life of  Bonnie Terry

Long time Network Power/Texas board member Bonnie Terry lost her battle with cancer on Jan. 27, 2006.  Bonnie was a dynamic community supporter, active in numerous benevolent and political causes that reached beyond the borders of Texas.  Bonnie worked tirelessly during her life for those less fortunate, from the homeless to those who  were devastated by Texas floods.  Bonnie’s heartfelt work and loving soul will continue to resound in our lives and community.

In honor of the life and contributions of Bonnie Terry, Network Power/Texas will award an annual scholarship of $250 to a deserving woman enrolled in San Antonio College at the annual Women Empowered conference.  Applications can be made through the San Antonio College Women's Center. Applications will be forward to Network Power/Texas by the Financial Aid Office of each of the four ACCD colleges after Nov. 1 of each year.

Bonnie Terry believed in education and supported the scholarships awarded by Network Power/Texas.  The board hopes that each recipient of the Bonnie Terry Scholarship will use their education to be self sufficient, inspire others and support the success of other women.

Carla Buchanan was known for her zest for life and her enthusiastic support of women. 

NP/TX hopes that

recipients of this scholarship will passionately

succeed in being

all they can be.
