The VANROSS Foundation
Supporting Deserving Students Nationally
Mission Statement
The mission of The VanRoss Foundation (TVF), is to award high school seniors with partial merit-based scholarships towards their college tuition in all 50 states.
Thank You
Everyday, people are faced with opportunities to give to their favorite charities by volunteering or through monetary donations. We would not be able to accomplish our desired goals without supporters like you. Whether it's verbal, written or through actions, we would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation for each and every contribution. Because of your generous gifts, our high school seniors will be able to reach upward and move a little closer to their dreams. Blessings to each of you!

“ The greatest opportunity I’ve had the honor of experiencing in my life has been the times that I have gotten to lead others and inspire success. To me, being a leader doesn’t simply mean being the best, but rather having the determination and willpower to sacrifice your time and effort for others success. Winning the Van Ross foundation scholarship award means taking a chance on me and trusting me to carry the principles of integrity and leadership forward. With this scholarship, I can worry less about my finances during college, and focus more on how I can create a better college environment for myself and my peers.”

“As I aim to further my education beyond high school, I plan to major in biology at the University of North Texas. After I graduate from undergraduate school, I will attend a four-year medical school to become a surgeon. The scholarship award will push me as far as I can go to pursue my dreams of becoming a surgeon.”

“The medical field and helping people are my greatest interest as a career. My career path at this time is athletic training/sports medicine. I have been accepted to Hardin-Simmons university, where I plan to get a Bachelor of Science in human sciences and then continue to graduate school and obtain my masters in athletic training. High school students have so many pressures that they face these days, I would also like to be a mentor to them.”

As the child of a farmer, I witnessed the fear that sprouts from uncertainty, and in turn, I have learned how to change my anxieties into reasons to become prepared. I dream of being able to teach math and science in low-income communities. I want to be able to give students a quality education that I was not given directly.“
