Educational resources

TISTA RISE Scholarship

Curated and launched by TISTA’s Equity, Equality, and Inclusion (EEI) Team, the TISTA RISE scholarship encourages qualified, outstanding undergraduate students to pursue an education in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields, at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Each applicant must be an academically successful leader of service who is committed to the betterment of their community.

Bowie State University

TISTA premiered the TISTA Science & Technology “Rewarding Integrity, Service, and Education” (RISE) Scholarship in the fall of 2021 for Bowie State University students. Two female/minority recipients received scholarship support this year and we are looking forward to supporting future recipients. 

University graduate programs and events

The University of Maryland, Global Campus

TISTA is forever grateful for our veterans, military, and their families and the sacrifices they make. That is why we have sponsored the Pillars of Strength scholarship in partnership with the University of Maryland, Global Campus for three years.

  • 3 caregivers received a bachelors degree to build their careers and earnings potential in support of 3 wounded warriors
  • 4 students completed their master’s degree in which TISTA benefited from two student projects in growth research
  • Exploring special projects with entrepreneur program faculty

The Pillars of Strength program provides a 4-year college degree for a caregiver of a wounded warrior. Supporting the education of caregivers can lead to financial stability and overall success for our wounded warriors and their loved ones.
