Our Impact

We’ve busted a variety of barriers that hold students back from attending, persisting and thriving at Dallas College:

• We offer over 400 different scholarships and programs, including our largest scholarship program: Dallas College Promise, powered by Rising Star. Through Dallas College Promise, we’ve helped over 10,000 scholars and awarded $6.5 million in aid.
• Thanks to our partnership with the North Texas Food Bank, each Dallas College campus now has an onsite food pantry.
• We’ve delivered over $71M in scholarships and grants

In the past five decades, we’ve supported groundbreaking Dallas College programs that have elevated the college to new heights of innovation, excellence and equity:

• We’ve raised over $1 million for Dallas College STEM Institute, a first-of-its-kind program that has supported more than 600 students in a wide variety of high- demand STEM fields.
• Since 2014, Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses has helped 643 graduates with $7.4 million in funds.

Newly launched programs are already making a difference, with more game changers to come:

• A $75,000 grant from Lyda Hill will boost Dallas College’s efforts as lead partner on a $8.8 million federal grant to support Dallas’ biotech workforce.
• Moving into our next 50 years, we’ll launch even bigger, bolder projects to help Dallas College transform lives and communities through the power of higher education.
