About the Valley Scholars Program
Helping academically talented and highly motivated students be successful in college
The Valley Scholars Program was established in 1997 to recognize and promote academic excellence by providing financial assistance, academic support services, mentoring, and leadership development to academically gifted and highly motivated students. The program provides a foundation that empowers students to excel in their academic achievements and to become leaders that will make significant contributions to their communities.
The program recruits STC students who graduated within the top 10% of their high school class and encourages participation in the STC Honors Program and Phi Theta Kappa International Honors Society.
Since the program’s inception, more than 600 participants matriculated to either STC’s own bachelor programs or transferred to such institutions as the University of Texas Pan-American, Texas A&M University, University of California, and Emerson College.
All of the proceeds from “A Night with the Stars” will benefit the Valley Scholars Program. The Valley Scholars Program hopes to raise sufficient funds through this event to provide financial assistance to the next class of Valley Scholars.
