Start a Scholarship
Create a scholarship. Help students achieve.
Igniting possibility. Funding a future.
Since 2015, the San Juan Education Foundation’s ACHIEVE Scholarship Portfolio has supported students on their journeys beyond high school.
The ACHIEVE Scholarship Portfolio is more than a financial award—it’s an investment in the whole student. Grounded in the belief that every young person deserves the chance to thrive…
- ACHIEVE empowers students with Agency to shape their future with confidence.
- It nurtures Community by building strong networks of support,
- and fuels Hope by reinforcing the belief that every student is worth fighting for.
- ACHIEVE creates Impact by unlocking potential and removing financial barriers,
- while fostering Exploration through curiosity, discovery, and a commitment to lifelong learning.
- It elevates student Voice, ensuring students are seen, heard, and supported.
- And finally, it celebrates Excellence, recognizing students who strive to grow, lead, and create lasting change.
With each scholarship awarded, ACHIEVE helps build a brighter, more equitable future—one student at a time.
We believe no student’s dreams should be limited by cost. When you start a scholarship, you’re not just giving money — you’re investing in possibility, hope, and the power of education to change lives.
Your scholarship can honor a loved one, celebrate a passion, or create opportunities for students who share your values and vision. Whether it’s college, career training, or another path forward, you can help open doors that might otherwise remain closed.
Their Dreams. Your Support. Our Future.
- Create lasting impact. Your scholarship lives on through the achievements of the students it supports.
- Honor someone special. Celebrate a teacher, family member, friend, or community leader who inspired you.
- Support your passions. Fund students in specific fields, interests, or schools close to your heart.
- Strengthen our community. Help ensure all students — regardless of background — have the chance to thrive.

“After my husband Ray passed away, my daughter and I turned to the San Juan Education Foundation to help create a scholarship in his name. From the very first meeting, we felt supported, informed, and genuinely cared for.
The San Juan Education Foundation walked us through every step of the process with compassion and clarity, keeping us updated on contributions and helping us honor Ray’s legacy in the most meaningful way. We couldn’t have done it without the San Juan Education Foundation’s guidance and care.”
