The VANROSS Foundation is an educational 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that awards partial scholarships to deserving high school seniors in the state of Texas. The partial scholarships are to help assist students with payments toward their tuition.  TVF scholarships are made available by holding various fundraising events throughout the year. We also look to receive state and federal grants, monetary gifts, and donations to help with giving.

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!
