Alan Jackson Quietly Launches Scholarship Fund for Texas Flood Orphans
San Marcos, TX — In the aftermath of one of the most devastating floods in Texas history, country music icon Alan Jackson has once again shown that true generosity doesn’t need a spotlight. Without fanfare or media attention, Jackson has quietly established a long-term scholarship program for children who lost their parents during the disaster.
The initiative, called “One Day at a Time,” is part of Jackson’s Still Standing Fund and is set to fully cover tuition, educational materials, and mental health services for at least 30 affected students. Rather than offering a short-term gesture, the program is designed to provide lasting support — helping young survivors not only rebuild their lives but also imagine a new future.
In a rare public statement delivered through a heartfelt video, Jackson shared: “I can’t fix what’s gone, but maybe I can help them believe in something again.”
What’s perhaps most remarkable is Jackson’s insistence on staying out of the spotlight. According to a representative from the fund, Jackson requested that his name be left off all official documents and promotional materials. “He doesn’t want praise,” the representative said. “He just wants to make sure these kids aren’t forgotten.”
No headlines. No press tour. No award ceremony. Just quiet compassion from a man who has always let his music — and now his actions — speak louder than words.
With “One Day at a Time,” Alan Jackson is not just helping rebuild homes. He’s helping rebuild hope — one child, one future at a time.
