Benefit for Financial Aid: Bob Schneider Live!

Austin, TX 78735
Each year, the St. Andrew’s community comes together with one shared purpose: raising funds for the Financial Aid program, ensuring that students requiring tuition assistance will be able to attend St. Andrew’s and enjoy all that our incredible community has to offer. This year, our goal is to raise $1,000,000, which will directly benefit more than 150 students across our K–12 community.

Financial aid at St. Andrew's helps cover tuition, books, academic resources, athletics equipment, and the countless opportunities that shape a child’s confidence, character, and future. These funds open doors, ensuring that talented, motivated students can learn, compete, create, and thrive, regardless of financial circumstances.

On Saturday, April 25, join us for an unforgettable night at the Benefit featuring Bob Schneider, one of Austin’s most beloved and electrifying performers. With the spirit of legendary venues like Antone's and Continental Club setting the tone, the 2026 Benefit for Financial Aid will capture the energy of the Austin live music scene and support a life-changing cause.

Visit the OneCause site to support the Benefit through purchasing a sponsorship or donating an auction item.

We hope to see you at this special event!
