Greater Texas Foundation

Headquartered in Bryan, Texas, Greater Texas Foundation (GTF) serves the citizens and educational institutions of Texas by supporting initiatives that increase rates of post-secondary enrollment and completion for all Texas students, with a particular focus on students who may encounter barriers to post-secondary success. GTF is an education conversion foundation tracing its origins to the Greater Texas Student Loan Corporation, which was founded in 1980. Until 2001, the organization provided financial assistance to Texas students seeking higher education by raising funds in the tax-exempt financial markets and acquiring student loans originated by lenders participating in its programs. In 2001, the organization expanded its charitable purposes while surrendering its ability to issue tax-exempt debt, and GTF was then formed.
