Higher Education Grant Program

Students who are pursuing a degree at the bachelor’s, master or doctorial level, in any field, may apply for a one-time, non-renewable grant from The Tau Omega Charitable Trust Fund, Inc. The grant is to assist a student (other than those already receiving scholarship assistance) with expenses to attend a program of an accredited university/college anywhere in the world for a specialized learning opportunity in their chosen field of study. Grant requests will be accepted at any time and the amount awarded will be dependent upon available earnings on invested savings.

The applicant must submit a written request that outlines the learning opportunity, how much it costs; an explanation of need; and how the total cost will be covered. The request must also include how the learning opportunity will assist them in their future endeavors. A copy of the correspondence from the university/college informing the student of their acceptance and any requirements must accompany the request. Applications must be received at least 60 days prior to the start of the learning opportunity. Awards will be paid directly to the institution the student will attend. Upon completion of the course work a report on the student’s experience will be requested.
