2026 Gala

In April 2026, you have the chance to transform students' dreams into reality—not just by supporting their college journey, but by empowering their aspirations. Join us for an unforgettable evening devoted to making those dreams come true.

Discover the various sponsorship opportunities available.

The San Jacinto College Foundation Gala will ensure graduating high school seniors in the College’s taxing district can pursue higher education without burdening themselves or their parents financially. Through your help, the Promise @ San Jac Scholarship can continue covering certificates and associate degrees 100% after other financial aid. You can make a difference:

Francisco Zavala

"It’s helped me by allowing me to focus on my studies instead of working or taking a gap year so I could afford to go to college. Now I’m saving up more money in the long run for a university and focusing on making better grades for future scholarships."

Lara Hunyh

"When my parents and I first heard about Promise, we thought it might be too good to be true. After we learned more, it was like we struck gold. My parents were excited that my tuition would be free.”

Gary Cooper

“Two years ago, I had no idea what I wanted to do in life or how I was going to pursue a career. Now I have a full plan to succeed and am on pace to achieve all my goals.”

It’s open to all in-district high school seniors, regardless of their high school GPA or household income.

Students are eligible if they live within the College’s taxing district when they graduate from high school. They must also enroll full-time.

Promise Scholars need to stay on top of deadlines and maintain a minimum GPA while enrolled.

Sponsorship Opportunities

We’re shifting the spotlight from college debt to dreams, and we need your help! Our goal is to ensure the Promise @ San Jac Scholarship and debt-free education is available for generations to come.
