Why should you sponsor?

The British American Foundation of Texas exists to ensure that financial barriers never eclipse academic brilliance. We provide life-changing scholarships to exceptional, financially challenged students across Texas, empowering them to pursue degrees in business and STEM. These scholars are not just students—they are future innovators, problem-solvers, and community leaders poised to uplift their families, neighborhoods, and our state. By investing in their potential, we invest in a future where talent and determination, not circumstance, define success.

This year’s gala is more than an event; it is a celebration of hope and human potential. It promises to be an unforgettable event, featuring inspiring stories from our scholars and opportunities to connect with others who share a commitment to investing in education and the future of Texas —and we would be honored to have you join us as a benefactor.

BAFTX was established as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit by the British American Business Council in 2006 as a beacon going forward into the future to help provide financial assistance and educational opportunities to academically gifted students in the United States and the United Kingdom who otherwise might not be able to pursue their education due to financial constraints.

BAFTX enables financially challenged, Texas-based students that excel academically to fulfil their exceptional potential by supporting their US college education.

We also provide a unique student learning experience in the UK, giving an early opportunity to broaden perspective and personal vision.

Together these support their aspirations to become leaders in their chosen fields, changing their lives and communities by increasing access to education and meeting the needs of tomorrow’s STEM and business workforce.
