The WSTF scholarship program is funded each year by local telephone companies—including TDS Telecom. The scholarships are available to high school seniors in the company’s service area. WSTF volunteers review the applications and select finalists based on financial need, academic achievements, extracurricular activities, and other criteria.

“For the last 12 years, TDS Telecom has been proud to support students and help them achieve their higher education goals through the WSTF scholarship,” said Jean Pauk, State Government Affairs Manager at TDS Telecom.

Since 1966, the WSTF has given more than $1.5 million to help students further their education. In its 54 years, the foundation has awarded scholarships to more than 1,300 students.

The foundation is part of the Wisconsin State Telecommunications Association (WSTA), which is a trade organization representing 67 companies and cooperatives in Wisconsin, including TDS.
