Support the youth of Texas through scholarships, agricultural education and youth-focused events.
San Antonio Livestock Exposition Educational Fund Inc. centers its philanthropy on scholarships for Texas students, and its largest recent awards show that emphasis clearly: $1,048,550 to Texas A & M University in 2025 and $910,210 to the same institution in 2024, both for student scholarships. The foundation’s giving also reaches across the Texas public higher-education landscape, with sizable scholarship support for Texas Tech University System, Tarleton State University, Sam Houston State University, and West Texas A & M University. Beyond university scholarship awards, the funder also makes grants for general support and agricultural education-related work. Recent grants include $100,000 to Texas A&M Foundation and $100,000 to Texas Tech Foundation for general support, along with annual support to Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service. The pattern points to a donor that uses institutional grants to move scholarship dollars to students while also backing parts of the agricultural and educational infrastructure that serve them. The foundation’s active scholarship program, San Antonio Livestock Exposition Scholarships, aligns with that same student-focused approach.
Scholarships are the core of this funder’s work. In 2025, it gave $1,048,550 to Texas A & M University for scholarships for students, and it also supported Texas Tech University System with $522,970 for the same purpose. Those awards show a strong focus on postsecondary access and tuition assistance. The foundation also supports agricultural education. Texas Agrilife Extension Service received $64,000 in 2025 and $60,600 in 2024 for general support, linking the funder to extension-based education in Texas. Its grantmaking reaches a range of Texas campuses. Examples include $173,868 to Tarleton State University, $158,513 to Sam Houston State University, and $155,457 to Angelo State University, each for scholarships for students. The portfolio is tied closely to students rather than broad programmatic fields.
Typical grants cluster in the mid-sized range, with a p25 of $10,000, a median of $23,750, and a p75 of $44,416. The recent grants list shows both large institutional scholarship awards and smaller support grants, suggesting a mix of direct student funding and operating-style institutional support. Recipients appear across multiple years, including Texas A & M University, Texas Tech University System, Tarleton State University, Sam Houston State University, and Texas State University. The foundation also funds individuals through scholarships. Its active San Antonio Livestock Exposition Scholarships program is listed as not accepting unsolicited requests.
