The mission of TSF is summarized in our tagline: Investing in Students, Honoring Legacies.  TSF is dedicated to empowering local students in their pursuit of higher education by offering financial need support.  This is made possible through the administration of our funds, which commemorate community members, including individuals, families, businesses, and organizations.

Since 1960, TSF has awarded more than 13,275 scholarships, totaling over $17.9 million. Our recipients are enrolled in degree or certificate programs at community colleges, 2- and 4-year colleges, universities, career training schools, and graduate schools.

In addition to need-based aid, TSF offers merit-based scholarships including the Boston College Academic Award, the Bill Spaulding Merit Awards, the Rhudine Johnson Unsung Hero Award, and the Dan Blanchard History and Athletics Award. 

Wakefield residents pursuing post-secondary education are eligible to apply every year they are enrolled as full-time students.
