About

TXTA Foundation was established in 1978 to fund education and research projects for the Texas trucking industry. This organization is a non-profit educational, public relations, research and community service organization governed by a Board of Trustees.

TXTA Foundation promotes the good works of the industry by advancing the positive image and highlighting the essentiality of the trucking industry. TXTA Foundation makes an annual contribution to the Trucking Moves America Forward campaign, presented by American Trucking Associations, and shares its appreciation for our heroes of the highway on social media, billboards, truck wraps and stories in The Steering Wheel magazine. TXTA Foundation trustees are champions for the trucking community—strengthening our message and educating the public at every turn.

Scholarships

Academic scholarships are available to high school seniors and full-time college and university students. Applicants must be an employee of a TXTA member or the dependent, child, spouse or grandchild of a TXTA member company in good standing.

In addition to academic scholarships, TXTA Foundation offers trade/technical school scholarships year-round to individuals looking to pursue their commercial driver license or who are interested in working in a trucking trade school profession. Trade school applications are reviewed as they are submitted.
