Description

We continually strive to understand each of our partners' missions and what each does, has done or plans to do to establish, maintain and facilitate programs to promote removing barriers for all students and families seeking to obtain an education. Those barriers can range from lack of knowledge of the process to financial aid, admissions, acceptance, awareness, and more.

Our commitment to improving education encompasses the entire educational spectrum, because barriers can exist at any level. We're interested in all levels of education: K-12, trade/service, community college, undergraduate, graduate and certification degrees. Our state is largeâ€"in geography, population, or almost any other measure. The challenges facing Texas education are enormous, greater than one single entity can answer. For that reason, the Foundation seeks opportunities to partner with public, private, and not-for-profit organizations to improve access and improve education for as many Texans as we can. Together, we can make a difference.
