The Helotes Chamber Foundation is proud to invest in the next generation of community-minded leaders. For the Class of 2026, we will award three $1,000 scholarships to graduating high school seniors who demonstrate commitment to their education, character, and the community around them.

APPLICATIONS MUST BE RECEIVED BY APRIL 24, 2026

Scholarships are open to students who:

• Either reside within the Northside ISD boundaries or are the family member of a current Helotes Chamber of Commerce member
• Plan to enroll full-time in an accredited college or university following graduation

Scholarship funds will be paid directly to the college or university in the student’s name and must be used toward tuition, fees, or educational materials.

We understand that financial need can play a significant role in a student’s ability to pursue higher education. While not required, applicants are encouraged to share any personal circumstances that may help us better understand how this scholarship could support their journey.

Scholarship recipients will be selected based on overall character, leadership, service and need.  

Applicants must submit a completed application, two letters of recommendation, a 500-word essay on a personal obstacle, a 300 word essay explaining their career path, and a summary of school involvement, leadership roles, honors and other scholarships received.
