Air Systems Foundation Scholarship

We are happy to report 11 students received scholarships in 2024!

We also continue to help veterans returning home and starting or continuing their educational goals through the Foothill De Anza Foundation.  The success of this program can only be measured by the generous donations of local individuals and organizations that keep this essential community project alive. We continue to focus on touching students’ lives directly through our Academic Scholarship program. Part of our goal is to unleash their talent by providing educational opportunities. Our scholarship committee is dedicated and hands-on, reviewing every application and then meeting individually face-to-face with each scholarship finalist. We are amazed at our youth and future leaders as they astound us with stories of endurance, dedication and perseverance with the ultimate goal to attend an institution of higher education.
