ARLINGTON, TX — The Alan Stalcup Scholarship continues its mission of investing in students who are committed to their education, personal growth, and creating meaningful opportunities for themselves and others. Scholarship recipient Alex Aguilar is beginning his college journey at Arlington Baptist University, where he will study Bible and Sport Management.
For Alex, earning a college degree represents more than an academic accomplishment. It is an opportunity to build on the values of hard work, discipline, perseverance, and service that have been passed down through his family.
“My parents and grandparents have taught me the value of hard work, discipline and serving others,” Alex shared. “I want to make them proud by staying focused on my college studies and fulfilling my goal of earning a degree.”
Those lessons have shaped both his approach to education and what he hopes to accomplish in the future.
As he begins his studies in Arlington, Alex plans to combine his interests in faith and sports through coursework in Bible and Sport Management. His goal is to gain the education and practical skills necessary to build a meaningful career while creating a strong foundation for his future.
He also sees education as an opportunity to eventually give back to the people who have supported him along the way.
“I know that getting an education will help me gain skills to be qualified for a career that will allow me to help my parents, provide for my future family and help others in need,” Alex said.
Alex has worked hard to prepare himself for college and recognizes that earning a degree will require continued discipline and perseverance. He knows there will be challenging moments, but he is entering this next chapter determined to remain focused on the goals he has set for himself.
For Alex, that determination is also connected to representing his family and community well.
“I know school will be challenging at times, but I will strive to be a good representation of my community and family by not giving up.”
Support from the Alan Stalcup Scholarship will help Alex as he works toward his degree and develops the knowledge and skills that will prepare him for opportunities beyond college.
The Alan Stalcup Scholarship was created to remove barriers for hardworking students and open doors to opportunity through education.

As Alex begins his studies at Arlington Baptist University, he carries with him the values instilled by his parents and grandparents and a determination to make their support count.
