Student Voices on Public Policy

At Trellis Foundation, we believe that centering students in the development and advocacy of higher education policy leads to better policies. In 2023, Trellis Foundation awarded a total of $1 million to four advocacy nonprofits to support the participation of current and recent Texas college students in policy fellowship programs. In 2025, we caught up with these fellows during the Texas legislative session.

Thank you to video participants for your time and expertice and to our grantee partners at EdTrust Texas, Every Texan, IDRA, and Young Invincibles.
