Each year, local telephone companies — including TDS Telecom  participate in the WSTF scholarship program. The scholarships are available to high school seniors in the company’s service area. Applications are reviewed by WSTF volunteers who select finalists based on financial need, academic achievements, extracurricular activities and other criteria.

This year the WSTF is awarding more than $52,000 in scholarships. Since 1966 they’ve awarded more than $1.3 million in scholarships.

The foundation is part of the Wisconsin State Telecommunications Association, a trade organization representing more than 70 telephone companies, Internet service providers and wireless carriers in Wisconsin.
