Anthony Munoz Scholarship Fund

Scholarship Sponsored by The Anthony Munoz Foundation

Purpose and overview
The Anthony Muñoz Foundation Scholarship Fund was created by Anthony and his family to help deserving local students attend college. The foundation awards multiple $20,000 scholarships to selected Tri‑State high school seniors.

Important date
Applications for the 2026 scholarship open Thursday, January 1, 2026.

How recipients are chosen
Students are interviewed and selected based on a combination of:
- financial need,
- academic achievement,
- evidence of overcoming adversity, and
- clear ambition and plans to succeed in college.

What you must submit
Include all of the following items with your application:
- Completed Anthony Muñoz Foundation Scholarship Application Form.
- A personal essay (well‑written, honest, and focused on your goals and challenges).
- College acceptance letter (if you have one).
- College or university student ID number (if you already have one).
- High school transcript covering your entire high school career, current through the application date.
- Current family financial information, including the Student Aid Summary from your FAFSA account.

Eligibility checklist
You must meet these basic requirements to be considered:
- Attend a high school located in the Foundation’s Area of Impact.
- Enroll as a freshman at an eligible Tri‑State college or university in Fall 2026 (the list of eligible and ineligible schools is available online).
- Demonstrate financial need and a record of overcoming adversity or strong personal motivation.

A few quick tips
- Read the online eligibility list before you apply so you don’t waste time on an ineligible school.
- If something on the required list isn’t available yet (for example, an acceptance letter), submit everything you do have and note what you will provide later.
- Write your essay in clear, complete sentences. Tell a focused story about where you’ve come from and where you want to go.
