MISSION The Texarkana College Foundation seeks to support and uphold the mission of Texarkana College by providing accessible and affordable higher education through securing charitable gifts and grants in support of the college’s funding priorities. GIVING OPPORTUNITIES The Texarkana College Foundation funds numerous scholarships and special projects for Texarkana College students. This year, 516 Texarkana College students received scholarships totaling $528,279. We recently rolled out our Just Start scholarship for non-traditional college students. This scholarship is focused on a key student group who in the past has had little scholarship opportunity.
These are prospective students who are living and working in our community but have yet to meet their full potential. We plan to fund 100 scholarships of $2,000 annually for students returning to college to change the trajectory of their lives and the lives of their families. With tuition prices at approximately 30% of Texas public universities and 10% of Texas private universities, your donation goes a long way at Texarkana College. Texarkana College is ranked as one of the top five community colleges in the State of Texas for student completion rates for first-time, full-time college students and is a leader college in closing equity gaps in graduation rates for minority students. In 2020, we served 7,561 students through 14 academic programs and 20 workforce programs.
