GSAEF Scholarship:
The Greater San Antonio Education Foundation (GSAEF) is committed to supporting the next generation of homebuilding professionals. We award annual scholarships to students pursuing careers in the construction industry at local San Antonio colleges, trade schools and universities.
Historically, we’ve generated funds for these scholarships through the construction of the GSAEF Scholar Home, a collaborative effort with local home builders and generous donations from GSABA members. However, recent challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic and industry regulations, have temporarily impacted our ability to build the Scholar Home.
Despite these setbacks, we remain optimistic about the future of our scholarship program. We are actively exploring alternative fundraising strategies to ensure that we can continue to support deserving students. We look forward to reviving the Scholar Home initiative as soon as conditions allow.
