The Terry Foundation

Biography

The Terry Foundation’s goal is to improve and develop the State of Texas by assisting Texas students to attend the state’s finest public universities.

In the fall of 2004, the Foundation Scholarship Program expanded for the first time, when Terry Scholars were named at the University of Houston and at Texas State University. In the ten years since the program was founded at Texas State, our students have received $8,934,450 in scholarship funds from The Terry Foundation.

What began in 1986 as a small scholarship program is now the state’s largest private source of scholarships for the University of Texas at Austin, Texas A&M University, the University of Houston, Texas State University, the University of Texas at San Antonio, the University of Texas at Dallas, the University of North Texas, Texas Tech University, and Texas Woman’s University, with nearly 1,000 Terry Scholars enrolled.
