Change Their Future.
Texas community college students are working hard to build better lives — but financial emergencies can derail everything. A broken-down car, an unexpected medical bill, a missed rent payment can force a student to drop out just weeks before graduation.
Hearts As Big As Texas provides targeted micro-grants that help financially vulnerable students overcome unexpected expenses, keeping them enrolled and on the path to a degree.
