About Texas Guaranteed Student Loan
Texas Guaranteed Student Loan Corporation’s recent giving is defined by a large general-support grant to Trellis Foundation: $166,263,943 in 2023, followed by another $10,000,000 general-support grant in 2025. That pattern points to a funder that uses major unrestricted support as a central part of its work, while also making smaller general-support grants to Texas higher-education and student-success organizations. The foundation’s stated purpose is to develop and advance initiatives that grow individual economic mobility and expand community prosperity, and its listed focus areas include higher education, student loan repayment assistance, borrower education and support, and research and technical assistance for student success. Recent grants also reach community colleges, university foundations, and scholarship organizations across Texas, indicating a practical emphasis on institutions tied to student access and completion. The naming of recipient organizations suggests a preference for core funding rather than narrowly restricted project grants. Across the recent grants list, the foundation appears to support both statewide intermediaries and local education-serving entities, with general support as the common grant purpose.
What Texas Guaranteed Student Loan Funds
In higher education, Texas Guaranteed Student Loan Corporation gave $20,000 to Alamo Community College District Foundation Inc Accd Foundation for general support and $15,000 to Austin Community College Foundation for general support. The same pattern continued with El Paso Community College, which received $10,000 in 2023 and another $10,000 in 2024, both for general support. University-linked giving also appears in grants to Mcmurry University Foundation and Mcmurry University, each receiving general support in separate years. The foundation also backs scholarship and student-access infrastructure. Stars Scholarship Fund received $10,000 in 2024 for general support, while Texas A&m University - Central Texas Foundation received $10,000 in 2025. In the research and technical-assistance lane, Borderlands Research Foundations received $10,000 in 2024 and another $10,000 in 2025, both as general support.
How Texas Guaranteed Student Loan Gives
The typical grant size is tightly grouped: the 25th percentile is $10,000, the median is $10,000, and the 75th percentile is $12,500. That clustering suggests a standardized small-grant pattern alongside one exceptionally large allocation. The recent record also shows repeat support across multiple years for several recipients, including Trellis Foundation, Alamo Community College District Foundation Inc Accd Foundation, Austin Community College Foundation, El Paso Community College, Texas Tech Foundation Inc, Mcmurry University, and Borderlands Research Foundations. Grant purposes are consistently listed as general support, which aligns with the foundation’s philosophy tags for unrestricted, core, and sustaining support. The organization does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.
