This project is funded by the Greater Texas Foundation, supporting excellence in education by increasing access for all Texans and improving educational quality through public-private partnerships. The video clip is GTF Executive Director Dr. Wynn Rosser's speech at the press release on December 10, 2008.

The Greater Texas Foundation emerged in its present form following the election of its predecessor entity, the Greater Texas Student Loan Corporation, to convert from an entity organized for the exclusive purpose of issuing tax-exempt bonds to one with a greatly expanded charitable purpose. More detailed historical information can be found in the history section of the Web site (see below).

Headquartered in Bryan, Texas, the foundation serves the citizens and educational institutions of Texas by supporting initiatives that increase access to higher education, support teachers, and encourage parental and community involvement in education. The foundation also continues to support the financing of education by participating in government sponsored student loan programs.
