Envisioning a San Juan Unified School District where funding is not a barrier to equitable opportunity and access.

Creating connections, inspiring collaboration, and cultivating community, the mission of the San Juan Education Foundation is to harness the combined power of philanthropy and partnership to propel student achievement and enrich the lives of educators. Founded in 1991, we provide support through Direct-to-Teacher Grants and a broad scholarship portfolio.

Annually, our Evening with the Stars gala recognizes prominent alumni who have been successful in their chosen profession and who have given back to the community. We are also fortunate to be the beneficiary of the Fair Oaks Chicken Run.

WHAT'S NEW 〰️

$100,000 for ARTS EDUCATION PROGRAMs

We’re funding art dreams by investing $100,000 in San Juan Unified schools to enhance and create foundational arts education programs that support California Content Standards across all five arts disciplines (dance, media arts, music, theatre, and visual arts). These grant funds, leveraged with the funds made available through Proposition 28, the Arts and Music in Schools Funding Guarantee and Accountability Act, will help fill a gap in creating and sustaining effective and meaningful arts education programs across the district. The grant period closed on March 15, 2024. Awards will be announced on April 19.

Scholarships

Thirty-five San Juan Unified graduating seniors were awarded 41 scholarships totaling $36,500 in 2023. The 2024 Scholarship Season is open through April 12, 2024.
