Promesa Del Valle: South Texas College's Promise
Photography by: Sergio Arriata
The South Texas College Foundation recently hosted its second annual Foundation Gala. The sold-out event raised nearly $200,000, with all proceeds going to student scholarships, creating opportunities and resources needed to make college accessible to every student in the Rio Grande Valley.
The gala, hosted at the McAllen Convention Center, brought together hundreds of STC donors and supporters, including elected officials, community leaders, and philanthropists who support creating a college-going culture and providing scholarships to deserving students. Through the support of its donors, STC and the STC Foundation plan to provide free college for all within the next five years through its Valley Promise Program, or Promesa Del Valle.
