The Rey Feo Scholarship Foundation exists to champion education as a powerful tool for opportunity, equity, and community uplift. Inspired by the enduring legacy of El Rey Feo—a symbol of the people's voice and a challenge to exclusion—we are dedicated to empowering San Antonio’s youth through access to higher education.
As Rey Feo 77, Damaso proudly upholds this tradition with a personal commitment to learning and service. His mission is to inspire the next generation to dream bigger, reach higher, and believe in their potential. Through scholarships, school visits, and community outreach, we work to break down barriers and build a future where every student has the chance to succeed.
Since 1947, the Foundation has raised over $10 million in scholarship funds, helping more than 7,000 students pursue their academic goals. As part of Fiesta Royalty, we celebrate culture, promote philanthropy, and continue our unwavering commitment to educational excellence—one student at a time.
