The Foundation supportslifelong learning because education makes adifference in the lives of individuals, families andultimately our community.

UniversalAccess (UA) was established in 2001 in an effortto secure fully paid tuition for public and privatelocal high school graduates who wished toattend Galveston College. The vision of UniversalAccess was achieved through development andgrowth of an endowment significant enough toguarantee each Galveston accredited high school(public or private), home-schooled, and GEDgraduate the financial aid necessary for up to twoyears of education and training. The foundersof UA believed the investment that would paythe greatest dividends and make the biggestdifference in the community is an investment inthe higher education and training of its residents.In addition, due to the generosity of donors,from other established named and endowedscholarships, we were able to award anadditional 50,423 in scholarships to students.Universal Access Scholarships are provided toensure that every eligible high school graduate,I hope you enjoy reading the wonderful storiesof some of these students within this annualreport.As the assets of the Foundation rise, I amproud that we will be able to continue toincrease the scholarship support we provide toGalveston College students.
