TUSKEGEE AIRMEN SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION

Description

TASF is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization founded in 1978 in order to provide educational and charitable services for the purpose of honoring living and deceased members of the Tuskegee Airmen. The Foundation also acknowledges other individuals who have made significant contributions in the field of aviation, aerospace and science technology.

The Tuskegee Airmen, one of the most recognized and decorated groups to serve in the Army Air Corps during World War II, are now leading the fight for educational excellence. By providing scholarships for first-year students entering college, the Tuskegee Airmen remain active and engaged in one of today's most critical causes, bridging the gap between high school and post-secondary education.

Tuskegee Airmen Scholarship Foundation (TASF) has granted over 1,300 scholarships totaling over $1.7 million to help needy students pay for college. Each year the Foundation with the support of dedicated donors, government employees, corporations, and educational advocates, presents $1,500 scholarship awards to 40 students who instill the ideals, leadership and commitment as exemplified by the Tuskegee Airmen.
