Most students are overwhelmed when it comes to filling out scholarship applications, but at St. Philip’s College, the college applies for scholarships for the students. By going that extra mile, SPC received a $15,000 check to fund the passions of 30 students who are pursuing careers in three of the college’s health professions programs this year.
“We always apply, because students always need financial help,” said Rebecca Sanchez, an assistant professor and chair of the college’s Allied Health department. “We do it to enhance the community. Our college has a longstanding reputation of providing qualified professionals for the healthcare industry.”
The funding came from Baptist Health Foundation of San Antonio, for students in St. Philip’s College’s Occupational Therapy Assistant, Respiratory Therapy and Physical Therapy programs.
Baptist Health Foundation of San Antonio improves the health of its community by fostering and funding clinical, educational, spiritual and scientific initiatives.
The money has gone a long way because St. Philip’s College’s tuition is a value. Although this was not the first time the college has received similar charitable contributions from the foundation, the foundation’s check tripled the previous assistance and the scope of its giving expanded opportunities for the college by one more program.
About St. Philip’s: St. Philip’s College was founded in 1898 by Bishop James Steptoe Johnston of St. Philip’s Episcopal Church of the West Texas Diocese. Today, St. Philip’s is a multi-campus institution of the Alamo Community Colleges and serves a semester enrollment of nearly 10,000 credit and more than 5,000 continuing education students.
