The Foundation awards scholarships to graduating high school seniors throughout the State of Wisconsin. In 2025, twenty (20) $1,500 scholarships were awarded; one $1,500 Bruce Reuber WSTF Memorial Scholarship; five $750 scholarships to students attending a technical college.

ELIGIBILITY

Students whose family is served by a WSTF participating local exchange carrier (broadband service provider) in a graduating high school class in Wisconsin are eligible for a Foundation scholarship.. Each applicant must be endorsed by a participating local exchange telephone company. Please check with your local exchange carrier (broadband service provider) as you will need a letter of recommendation from them to be eligible for a scholarship). Participating companies are primarily Wisconsin’s community-based, rural broadband service providers. Large, national broadband service providers like AT&T, Brightspeed (formerly CenturyLink), Frontier, and Verizon do not participate in the WSTF program and are NOT eligible for this scholarship.  Academic excellence is taken into consideration but is not paramount to receiving one of the scholarships. The primary considerations are: First, the student has expressed a sincere desire to continue his or her education; Second, has demonstrated the ability; and Third, has financial need.
