Philanthropic investment expands innovation and opportunities for student research as TCU continues advancing toward R1 status
exas Christian University today announced a $10 million commitment from The Roach Foundation of Fort Worth for a philanthropic investment that aligns with priorities in TCU’s strategic plan and strengthens the university’s growing research enterprise across all pillars of LEAD ON: Values in Action — Student-Centered Growth; Research, Scholarship and Creative Activities; Athletics; and Community Engagement.
This commitment will support interdisciplinary collaboration among faculty and students working in areas such as engineering, data science, human performance and applied technology, while also building on the visibility and impact of Horned Frogs athletics programs.
“We are immensely grateful to The Roach Foundation for this investment in the future of Texas Christian University and our students, which builds on the family’s legacy of generosity and support of TCU,” said Chancellor Daniel W. Pullin. “By connecting the strength of our research agenda with talented Horned Frogs, we’re creating new pathways for discovery, innovation and real-world impact. This latest gift supports the development of new opportunities for our students to lead in industries shaping the future. The Roach, Bailey and Davis families have always sought to support the greatest need that impacts the most students, and this is a wonderful way to show support for TCU’s research initiatives.”
