EDUCATION

 

Access to higher education and professional training often provides life-changing opportunities for individuals, their families, and our collective future. We focus on impactful partnerships with local universities and organizations to provide scholarships and training/mentoring for aspiring students from underserved communities. Our scholarship recipients include veterans, military, caregivers of wounded warriors, and victims of human trafficking, among others.

SCHOLARSHIPS – University of Maryland, Global Campus

TISTA partners with the University of Maryland, Global Campus for the 2nd consecutive year in sponsoring a Pillars of Strength scholarship.

TISTA is forever grateful for our military, veterans, and their families in the sacrifices and commitment they make for our beloved country. This program provides a 4-year degree scholarship with the University for a caregiver of a wounded warrior. We understand these caregivers are often balancing many aspects of recovery. Supporting the education of caregivers can lead to career and financial stability, is an important ingredient to the long-term care and success of our wounded warriors and their loved ones.

DIGITAL EQUALITY

TISTA promotes digital inclusion by donating corporate computing devices to those in need. Personal technology, such as laptops, is essential for many communities to access direct services, search for employment, and continue education. Recipients include survivors of human trafficking, veterans, and students.
