WE are the Titans!

Titans Helping Titans

This year, thanks to the extraordinary generosity of our Titan alumni community, the Scholarship Fund of Alexandria (SFA) awarded more than $1.9 million in scholarships to the Class of 2026 and renewed scholarships for returning recipients. Because at the SFA, we aren't just helping Titans get to college—we're helping them get through college.

But every year, the need grows. College costs continue to rise, and more students are counting on scholarship support than ever before.

That's where YOU come in.

We're calling on Titans from every graduating class to rally together and invest in the next generation. Which class will have the most donors? Which class will raise the most money? It's time for a little friendly Titan competition!

Beginning with the Class of 2025, SFA increased 25 needs-based scholarships from $3,000 to $5,000 per year for up to four years, giving students the financial support they need to earn a degree—not just start one.

Your gift helps make college possible for students who might not otherwise be able to attend, many of whom are the first in their families to pursue higher education. Every dollar opens doors, changes lives, and creates opportunities that last a lifetime.

Want to make an even bigger impact? Consider making your gift a recurring monthly donation. Ongoing support provides dependable funding for future Titans and allows SFA to plan confidently for the years ahead.

Give Today

Our goal is to inspire 200 Titan alumni to make a gift. Whether it's $20, $50, $100, or more, every donation counts and every donor strengthens our community.

Pay It Forward

When making your gift, please include your graduation year and tell us why you're supporting the next wave of Titans.

Did a teacher, coach, mentor, scholarship, or member of the community help you along your journey? Honor that gift by paying it forward.

Together, we can ensure today's Titans have the same opportunity to dream bigger, achieve more, and build brighter futures.

Thank you for investing in the next generation of Titans.
