TRALA Scholarship Fund

Scholarship Contributors

Thanks to these generous companies and individuals $2 million has been raised to support TRALA’s scholarship program since its inception in 1995. In 2000, TRALA launched a fundraising campaign to establish a permanent endowment for the scholarship program through five year commitments from TRALA member companies and individuals throughout the industry. TRALA is proud to recognize each of these supporters who are contributing so generously to the TRALA Scholarship Fund.
