The Foundation is part of the Wisconsin State Telecommunications Association (WSTA), a trade organization representing 67 companies and cooperatives in Wisconsin, including TDS. This year, the WSTF is contributing $44,250 to 32 students across the state.

Money for the fund is contributed by people associated with the telecommunications industry in Wisconsin, and TDS is proud to participate in the WSTF scholarship program.
