ABOUT THE TEXAS ALLIANCE FOUNDATION:

 

The Texas Alliance Foundation was established by a group of Aggies, all former student leaders, passionate about serving the students of Texas A&M University and encouraging them in the foundational values of Texas A&M University: leadership, service, and personal development.

 

Accordingly, the Texas Alliance Foundation will distribute a minimum of three grants to deserving registered student organizations at Texas A&M University-College Station in May 2011 for use within the year. At a minimum, one $1,000 grant and two $750 grants will be given. Additional grants may be given at the discretion of the Texas Alliance Foundation Board.

 

 

ABOUT THE GRANT APPLICATION PROCESS:

The application cover page and questions must be completed by a student leader of the applying organization. Applications must be emailed to apply@texasalliancefoundation.org and post marked by 11:59 PM CST on March 1, 2011. Applications will be reviewed during March.
