The foundation believes that community colleges play an important role in our states post-secondary educational environment. Students often find it difficult, however, to make the transition from a community college setting to a four-year institution of higher education. The Greater Texas Foundation Rising to the Challenge scholarship program is meant to encourage and support students in making that transition.
The foundation awarded eight grants of $25,000 each for a total of $200,000. The schools awarded the funds include: Tarleton State University, Texas A&M University-Texarkana, Texas Woman’s University, Texas Tech Foundation, Inc., University of North Texas Foundation, Sul Ross State University, University of Texas of the Permian Basin, University of Houston-Clear Lake.
