Every student at Western Texas College has a story.
Some are the first in their family to go to college. Some are working full time while taking classes. Some are learning skills that will keep our hospitals running, our businesses growing, and our communities strong.
For many of these students, one scholarship can make the difference between stopping and finishing.
The Western Texas College Foundation exists because people in the community believe in investing in the next generation.
When you support WTC students, you are not just helping one person. You are strengthening families, building the workforce of West Texas, and shaping the future of our region.
If you have ever believed in the power of education to change a life, we invite you to be part of that story.
Your Legacy. Their Opportunity.

Today (post from January 31, 2026), we take a moment to celebrate the life and legacy of the incredible Tana Springer! Born on January 21, 1961, Tana's time with us was all too short, as she tragically passed away on May 16, 1981. Despite her untimely passing, her memory lives on through the countless lives she touched. Her parents, Mike and Connie Otto, established the Tana Springer Memorial Scholarship in 1996. If you were fortunate enough to have known Tana, we'd love to hear your favorite stories and memories of her. Please share them with us and let's keep her memory alive! ❤️
Today (post from January 30, 2026), we celebrate the extraordinary legacy of Georgia and Red Tefertiller, a devoted couple who embodied the spirit of community service and inspired a brighter future. The scholarship established in her honor by her loving husband in 2004 continues to empower new generations. Married on January 16, 1941, in Missouri, their love story is a testament to the power of kindness and compassion. As they so beautifully put it, "It is never too soon to do a kindness, because you never know how soon it will be too late." www.wtcalumni.com

We celebrate J.M. "Mule" Kayser today! He was born on January 5, 1911, on a farm near Weatherford. Mr. Kayser was a flight instructor for the U.S. Air Force between 1941 and 1945. He later owned his own flying school. His journey in 1949 to Snyder as varsity line coach for Speedy Moffett was just the start. In 1952, he became vice principal and was an original faculty member at Western Texas College, where he taught social studies and history. J.M. Kayser remained active in the Snyder community until his death in 1997. His devotion to learning, community, and WTC is what drives us to strive for excellence.
