Soarion Credit Union Scholarship Program

Helping You Achieve Your Goals

The 2026 Scholarship Application is now available. Deadline: Friday October 24, 2025 at 4:00pm Central Time. 

We understand the academic and financial commitment that high education plays in a person's life. That's why we established the Soarion Scholarship Program in partnership with the Minnie Stevens Piper Foundation.

Each year, we proudly award scholarships to deserving students in our communities who are planning on attending an accredited public or private college, university, community college, or technical college. Selection is based on the applicant’s service in the community, academic performance, leadership, and financial need.

San Antonio area high school seniors should ask their school counselors for the Bexar County Scholarship Clearing House/Minnie Stevens Piper Foundation Scholarship Application. By using this comprehensive application, a student will be applying for the Soarion Scholarship Program, as well as many other scholarships. 

If a student does not live in San Antonio or is unable to get the application directly from their high school counselor, they can download the application in the application steps below.

Complete application form found below and submit to the Minnie Stevens Piper Foundation by October 24, 2025 at 4:00pm Central Time.

 

For more information, please contact the Minnie Stevens Piper Foundation at (210) 525-8494 or ejohnson@mspf.org

    Scholarship funds will be provided directly to the recipient's school of choice.
