The Burch Settoon Student Loan Trust primarily funds student-level awards administered through college and university financial aid accounts, with most grants designated for general operating/student support. Giving is regionally concentrated in West Texas and neighboring states (OK, NE) and includes both public universities and faith-based colleges, indicating a focus on helping undergraduate and health-sciences students in that region.
Burch Settoon Student Loan Tru gives mostly through student-specific awards routed to colleges and universities, with many grants labeled for general operating support within financial aid accounts. The 2025 grant list shows a consistent pattern of support for students in West Texas, especially at Texas Tech University and several nearby institutions. Their recent awards include repeated support for named students at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, as well as student support at Lubbock Christian University and West Texas A&M University. The trust also extends to other regional campuses such as Abilene Christian University, McMurry University, and South Plains College, suggesting a clear emphasis on undergraduate access and retention rather than broad institutional grantmaking. The scale is modest but steady: annual grants totaled $175,095 against assets of $961,935. Typical awards cluster in the low-thousands, and the trust’s recipients are all in the United States. Its giving pattern points to a funder organized around student aid rather than program expansion, with support often directed to higher-education financial aid accounts and health-sciences students. A small number of grants also reached institutions outside Texas, including Kansas State University, Hastings College, and Southwestern Oklahoma.
Student scholarships are the clearest theme in the trust’s recent giving. In 2025, Burch Settoon Student Loan Tru awarded $2,292 to Texas Tech University for Justin Kelley, a scholarship-style grant through a university financial aid account. West Texas institutions appear repeatedly in the grant list. The foundation gave $4,500 to South Plains College for Edgar Delgado and $4,500 to West Texas A&M University for Isaac Moralez, both marked for general operating support within student accounts. Faith-based colleges are also part of the mix. Recent grants include $4,500 to Lubbock Christian University for Kole Mayber and $3,800 to Abilene Christian University for Jett Patter, along with another award to McMurry University for Hunter Thompson. Health-sciences support appears in the Texas Tech system as well, with grants designated for health sciences center accounts for Tayleigh Johnson and Jacqueline Banda.
Typical awards are tightly clustered: p25 is $2,291, median is $2,292, and p75 is $3,175. That narrow band suggests a standardized student-aid approach rather than highly variable institutional grants. Recent records show repeat support across multiple years for the same institutions, especially Texas Tech University and West Texas A&M University, indicating ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards. The trust operates as a grantmaking vehicle that funds individuals through university accounts, and the listed grants are overwhelmingly framed as general operating support or scholarship support.
