Each year TSOI awards two $500 scholarships. The recipient must be a direct descendant of a TSOI member in good standing and enroll in an accredited college or university in the fall. There is an application process and a selection committee. The scholarships are awarded based on the criteria set each year by the scholarship committee. They are funded by donations from our members and friends. Next year’s program will be posting in January.
