Awards: The Foundation awards scholarships in the amount of
$1,500 each to graduating high school seniors throughout the
State of Wisconsin. In 2008 twenty-five to thirty such scholarships will be awarded.
In addition, six $750 scholarships will be awarded to first-year students in the Wisconsin
Indianhead Technical College two-year telecommunications
program.
Eligibility: Students in graduating classes of high schools in
Wisconsin are eligible for a Foundation scholarship. Each
applicant must be endorsed by a participating local exchange
telephone company. AT&T (SBC/Ameritech), Verizon, and CenturyTel do not participate in the
WSTF Scholarship process. If you are in AT&T, Verizon or CenturyTel serving areas, you
are not eligible to apply for a WSTA scholarship. Academic excellence is taken into
consideration but is not paramount to receiving one of the
scholarships. The primary considerations are: First, the student
has expressed a sincere desire to continue his or her education;
Second, has demonstrated the ability; and third, has financial
need.
