Boysville offers graduating seniors the opportunity to further develop their adult skills while nurturing career and educational goals. 

Each year, over 600 youth in Bexar County will age out of the foster care system without a support system to help them transition into adulthood. This age group is at-risk for homelessness, drug abuse, and incarceration. Our Supervised Independent Living Program is one of only eight programs in Texas to support young adults as they attend college or vocational school, work in the community, or enlist in the military.

Boysville’s Supervised Independent Living Program follows high school graduates as they progress from living at Boysville or in foster care to living independently by providing emotional and financial support as needed. Young adults attending college or vocational school are eligible for scholarships offered through the Boysville Foundation to help offset additional expenses. Some of the services included are book assistance, housing, college living allowances, food allowance, and case management and therapeutic programs. 

A young adult must be working at least 80 hours a month, attending high school or taking 6 hours of college courses, or be involved in a volunteer/job skills program.

The application process:

  • Young adults must complete the SIL application and obtain a referral from their DFPS caseworker.
  • Once the referral and application are completed, they get sent to the state office for approval.
  • Young adults will be interviewed and tour of the program.
  • If accepted, the young adult must accept placement within 72 hours.

For more information, contact Stephanie Williams at 210-566-3209 or via email Stephanie Williams.

No cost once admitted to program and receive scholarship for school/living expenses.

Stephanie can be contacted from 9:00 am- 5:00 pm Monday through Friday for additional information.

FACT is once again partnering with the Secular Student Alliance to sponsor one $1,000 Student Activist Scholarship. The scholarship will be awarded to a student enrolled in college in the state of Texas. Candidates will be evaluated on how they personify secular values, how they put those values into action as activists, and their goals for creating a more secular and humanistic future.

If you would like to donate to help FACT support a Texas secular student, click the “Donate” button at the bottom of the page and select the SSA Scholarship option. For more information on the scholarship.

What does Fact do?

We hold formal meetings on the third Saturday of most months. Those meetings often include nationally-known speakers on a wide range of secular topics. There is also a monthly Discussion Brunch on last Saturday of the month, and several luncheon meetings throughout the month. Our members have been involved in such community projects as building handicapped access ramps at private homes and volunteering at the San Antonio Food Bank. For more than 20 years FACT hosted a weekly program on Public Access TV. We occasionally hold family-friendly pot-lucks and we celebrate the Winter Solstice annually. See the Event Calendar page for our current schedule or join our Meetup group.

Thanks to the vision and generosity of our fund donors, the San Antonio Area Foundation has more than 100 scholarship funds available for graduating high school students and current college students. Each fund has its own criteria based on the fund advisor's interest.

Some scholarships fund a student's education in a specific area of study or to attend a fund advisor's alma mater, while others award scholarships to students from a specific school.

At the Green Beret Foundation, we know that one of the most important ways we can honor and assist our warriors is by giving their families a welcoming and supportive community.

Steel Mags Sisterhood:

  • The wives, survivors, and caregivers of Green Berets are ‘the Quiet Professionals behind the Quiet Professionals,’ with needs as unique as those of their soldiers. The Steel Mags program, exclusive to the Green Beret Foundation, provides them with the unconditional support, access to critical resources, advocacy, and experienced guidance that they need to build successful and thriving lives for themselves and their families. As the wives, mothers, daughters, and sisters of Green Berets, the Steel Mags embody the warrior ethos as they face life’s challenges and adversity head-on.

The Next Ridgeline:

The Green Beret Foundation’s Next Ridgeline program recognizes that no two Green Berets are alike. So, to be effective, our program goals strive to provide a self-driven, individualized experience. This will allow each Green Beret to utilize the sources, networks, and opportunities that are unique as he is.

By leveraging a diverse group of veteran organizations that specifically work in select areas, the Next Ridgeline program will work to develop each Green Beret’s core capabilities, enhancing his performance in our focus areas and creating a superior individual who is prepared for transition into the civilian world.

VA Benefits and Claims Support:

In late 2018, the Green Beret Foundation absorbed the formerly known OASIS Group, which provided the Special Operations community a comprehensive understanding of Veterans Affairs processes and systems to ensure fair and thorough evaluations of disability claims.

Our VA Benefits & Claims Program provides pre- and post-9/11 Green Berets:

  • Pre-transition briefings about Veterans Affairs benefits and processes for Green Berets and their loved ones.
  • Preparation, presentation, and prosecution of an original or updated VA Disability Claim.
  • Expert support to review current Military/Personnel Service Medical Records or Post-service VA Treatment records and locate any missing or archived documents as evidence to submit when filing your VA disability claim.
  • Assess previous service documentation or records for a condition or an injury that could have potentially led to a service connection: the in-service injury or diagnosis.
  • Vocational rehabilitation support and opportunities.
