Ideal Applicant
Students seeking small scholarships and education-focused programs or local Texas nonprofits running scholarship or career-training initiatives.
Good Fit
- • Requesting small scholarship awards or student support (typical grants $500–$2,000).
- • Clear alignment with the foundation's stated scholarship and education priorities.
- • Being Texas-based or serving Texas students/communities (majority of dollars go to Texas).
- • Ability to use the public scholarship application process or partner with established scholarship sponsors.
Geography
Grant activity spans five states in the latest year, but 88% of dollars were allocated to Texas, indicating a primarily in-state focus with limited out-of-state awards.
Recipient Variety
In the latest year the foundation made 29 grants to 29 distinct recipients, with most awards going to individual scholarship recipients and several different charities and sponsors, showing a broad and diverse recipient set for its size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows many new recipients in the latest year (28 new grantees) and the site provides public scholarship application pages and an application email; filings also flag that some funding lines are preselected, so openness applies primarily to the public scholarship pathways.
