As we enter 2023, Stars Scholarship Fund celebrates our 20^th Anniversary. We will celebrate two decades of community, partnerships, and impact. Stars Scholarship Fund has awarded 18,490 scholarships that have allowed students to complete their degrees and go on to pursue their passions and contribute significantly to their communities and the world.

Stars Scholarship Fund’s purpose is to advocate for students from our community and we exist to serve as an outlet in which you can invest in their future and the future of our community. The support of businesses and organizations such as yours is essential to our ability to operate successfully and to provide scholarships to students who might not otherwise have the resources to pursue higher education. With the support of our community, Stars Scholarship has disbursed $38 million in scholarships to students from south and west Texas since its inception.

Our first-ever Rio Grande Valley Extravaganza was held in 2003 and since day one, Stars Scholarship has committed 100% of donations to student scholarships. We continue that commitment today as we prepare for our 2023 Rio Grande Valley Extravaganza. Our Extravaganza will be held on Thursday, April 13, 2023, and Stars Scholarship Fund will welcome special guest, Deion “Prime Time” Sanders.

 This year’s Extravaganza will be the first event Stars Scholarship Fund will hold post-pandemic and we hope to bring our guests an experience and insight that most people are not privy to. At this private event, guests will enjoy an evening with Deion Sanders where he will share his experiences as a head coach and professional NFL and MLB athlete.

Sponsors will enjoy the benefits of attending the Extravaganza, which includes a private event before Deion Sander’s appearance that includes music, cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, plated three-course dinner, and live and silent auctions.

A scholarship means that our recipients can stay focused on school and know that their community believes in their ability to succeed. We hope you will join us in celebrating our twenty years and become a part of this vital and meaningful work to help students be successful in obtaining a college degree.

Your in-kind media support will help us be able to better communicate with our community. It is our hope to not only share information on Stars Scholarship Fund and our scholarship opportunities, but also thank the businesses and organizations that support us. 

Thank you for your consideration.
