Corporate and Foundation Relations

The TESU Foundation collaborates with corporate and private foundations to raise awareness of our mission and provide opportunities for social responsibility through funding of student scholarships, workforce development and nonacademic support services. Your support allows us to award finish-line scholarships to students who have a few credits remaining to complete and graduate. It extends wraparound services to parenting students so they can stay in school and improve their careers. It allows learners, including military and veterans, to pursue a degree in high-demand STEM fields, leading to employment and financial security.

Corporate and foundation support provide a path to higher education for adult students in need. It is a commitment which changes lives.

I cannot thank you enough for choosing me as a recipient of the scholarship. Your assistance is greatly appreciated in helping me achieve my goal of completing a bachelor’s degree with a major in computer science… This has made it possible for me to update my computer skills for my current career while also expanding the potential of career growth in the future. As I considered whether I would be able to continue to afford college courses, I received the [scholarship] notification. This award will enable me to register for additional classes, instead of taking a break to save enough money for them.”
