Champion Fund

When paying for TSA membership dues poses a challenge, the Champion Fund may provide an opportunity to bring TSA to middle schools and high schools. Through the Champion Fund, Red CAP membership costs (up to 10 members and one advisor) for approved schools are covered for one school year. Newly-affiliated chapters can discover all that TSA membership has to offer, including a wide range of challenging STEM-related competitions, and education, leadership, and career resources.

The Champion Fund is for brick-and-mortar schools (online schools are not eligible) that: 

1. have never had a TSA chapter and there is no school or community financial support available to pay membership dues.
2. have not had a TSA chapter for at least three years and there is no school or community financial support available to pay membership dues.
3. have had a TSA chapter within the last three years, but currently is experiencing economic hardship because of a disaster and cannot pay membership dues.
   

Submitted applications are reviewed by a committee to determine eligibility and are processed on a first come, first served basis depending upon available funding. All applications require a principal’s signature. Schools receiving financial support from the Champion Fund are kept anonymous.
