A Legacy of Support
The TGA Scholarship Fund began in the early 1990s with a simple yet powerful idea: to give back to our community by investing in education. What started as a vision among a few dedicated TGA members has grown into a robust program that has touched the lives of hundreds. Today, the TGA Scholarship Fund stands as a testament to our industry's commitment to nurturing talent and supporting education.
