The TUW Earl Koons Scholarship foundation primarily funds student scholarships for postsecondary study, directing modest awards to universities and vocational training programs. Grants are small and targeted, supporting individual scholarship funds rather than broad institutional programming; recipients include traditional universities and specialized professional training in fields like animation. The foundation does not appear geographically constrained, making awards to out-of-state institutions.
A small number of modest scholarships per year, concentrated on education-related recipients; some repeat funding to the same university (Penn State) but overall limited, targeted grantmaking rather than broad or large multi-year commitments.
