SCHOLARSHIP TRUST FOR THE DEAF AND NEAR-DEAF

In 1975 the Travelers Protective Association of America (TPA) established a scholarship trust for the deaf and near deaf.

The intent and purposes of the trust are the giving of financial aid or assistance to residents of the United States or its possessions who suffer deafness or hearing impairment and who will benefit from medical, mechanical or specialized treatment, or special education and who are unable to provide funds therefor for themselves.

Application for charitable assistance must be submitted on the approved trust application form by an adult, or if a minor, by the person having legal custody of the candidate.

The selection and amount of aid granted to a candidate shall be decided by the majority of the full Board of Trustees or the full Trust Executive Committee.

The trust is supported by gifts, bequests, and devises that are obtained from individuals, businesses, trusts, corporations, other entities, and from accretion of investment of the trust's funds.

Because of the limited funds available, financial aid is usually a one-time nonrecurring disbursement.

At present distributions are issued from accretions of investments from the trusts funds.

Applicants demonstrating the greatest financial need are given preference regardless of race, creed or sex.

All contributions in support of the trust regardless of the source are tax deductible.

For further information concerning the trust or in making application for financial aid direct all inquires to:
