The Tarrant County Education Foundation's founders, Arlene Barnett & Shirley Pace, along with volunteers, dedicate hundreds of hours each year to raise scholarship dollars to support students in financial need. These students have excellent academic records and volunteer in their communities. Every dollar raised for scholarships is used to provide tuition support to deserving students from our community's working-poor families.
We need your help!
In the current economic climate characterized by reduced grants and corporate giving priorities, our primary challenge lies in securing operational funds.
We give an average of $100,000 in scholarship awards each year because people like you have taken up the cause with us.
We have set a modest North Texas Giving Day goal of $7500 to support the operating needs of TCEF.
Help us continue this mission. Our children deserve better opportunities, not more obstacles. Our Motto: "Our Children, Our Investment, Our Future."
