The TSA, Inc. Board of Directors has reinstated TSA's Champion Fund. Once again, this philanthropic program will help schools where an economic need exists. This fund provides a one of a kind opportunity to bring the Technology Student Association to middle and high schools where money to pay for membership dues poses a problem. Funding is provided to approved schools for TSA chapter membership for one school year. During that time the recipient can experience TSA – the leadership opportunities, the competitive events, chapter management and the camaraderie (both for students and teachers). Applications will be reviewed by a committee to determine eligibility and will be processed on a first come/first served basis depending upon available funding. Schools receiving monetary support from the Champion Fund are kept anonymous.

The Champion Fund is made available from monetary donations from individuals, schools, communities and businesses to provide membership funds to schools that qualify. Eligibility categories are as follows:

1. schools where there has never been a TSA chapter before and there is no financial support from the community or school to pay for membership;
2. schools where there has not been a TSA chapter in the last five years and there is no financial support from the community or school to pay for membership;
3. schools that are experiencing an economic hardship (such as natural disaster or local economic downturn) and need assistance with membership dues.

Please consider donating to the Champion Fund. Your contribution will help keep this important fund replenished. Tax deductible donations may be made by individuals (such as members, officers, advisors, alumni, or parents), local chapters, state delegations, schools, communities, businesses, or any other individual or group. Donors will receive an electronic receipt. For each $25.00 donation the donor will receive a Champion Fund lapel pin (one pin/$25 donation).
