The Future of Retail Starts Here!

TREF Educational Scholarship Program offers Texas students, working in retail, an opportunity to get assistance with college tuition! Our program centers on our Texas Youth Opportunities in Retail (Texas YOR) program. To date, TREF has raised over $100,000 in scholarship monies to support Texas hard working students.

High School students in our Texas Y.O.R. program participate in pre-employment training, customer service training, and on-job experience. TREF strives to improve upon the existing employee pool, creating better managers and directors for the future retail industry. Our scholarship winners are based on completing the Texas Youth Opportunities in Retail program and working in retail oriented job.

To find out if your school is participating in our Texas YOR program, or if you are in the Texas YOR program and would like an application, please send us an email at info@tref.info.
