The Tower Family Foundation expanded the non-profit organization’s scholarship program in 2024 to include enhanced eligibility criteria to support more students on a merit basis. The application period to apply for scholarships for the Fall 2025 semester is officially open through May 31, 2025.
The Tower Family Foundation scholarship is open to the broader NATE community by offering a limited number of merit-based scholarships that will be available annually to the Association’s member company employees and their eligible dependents. The review and evaluation of all scholarship applications will be based on specific requirements related to academic achievement, future promise based on the degree program, and the responses to written essays.
In alignment with the Foundation’s core mission, need-based scholarships are offered to support individuals who have been severely injured or permanently disabled in the tower industry. These scholarships are also available to the legal dependents of workers who have tragically passed away or become permanently disabled due to work-related incidents. The scholarship aims to provide a crucial financial bridge during the transition to higher education, alleviating the financial burdens that often arise in the aftermath of an accident or permanent disability.
Tower Family Foundation Scholarships are valued at up to $5,000.00 per year for full-time students (carrying a minimum of 12 semester hours) and up to $2,500.00 per year for part-time students (carrying a minimum of 6 semester hours). Provided that outlined criteria are met, scholarships are renewable annually (for up to four years for full-time students and six years for part-time students).
