History

The TriCore Foundation started in 2017 with an idea to sponsor an essay contest at two Dallas-area elementary schools, offering $350 1st place prizes. Since then, we have sponsored contests in a variety of subject areas including poetry, art, math problem solving, trivia, persuasive essay, and short story, and we have awarded over $130,000 in prize money.

Over 4,000 students from 20+ schools have participated in our contests and sponsored programs since 2017.

Today, we run our flagship math problem solving competition for students in grades 6 - 8. We also work with Dallas-area public and private school teachers and schools to create, promote and sponsor inter- and intra-school contests and programs. (See the “Contests and Programs” page for details.)
