Help invest in the futures of TLI students. Support the center's Annual Campaign for Technological Leadership and Management. Your donations will help secure seats in the MOT and ISE programs for promising, technology-focused students by providing financial support for those who might not otherwise enroll in these programs. That support enables students to achieve their goals and to continue career paths that are having an impact on the high-tech community throughout Minnesota, the U.S., and the world.
TLI has designated five different award programs to help students enrolled in TLI programs as well as to aid TLI in reaching its strategic goals.
The Yechiel (Jack) Shulman Leadership Award, a merit-based award program, will direct funds toward MOT students with the highest potential for fast-tracked technological leadership. Professor Shulman was the center's founding director and key to the early success of the MOT program. (Fund #7507)
The Rias van Wyk Foresight Award will direct support to MOT students focusing on technology foresight. Professor van Wyk brought his passion for and knowledge of technology scanning and foresight to the MOT program for over a decade. (Fund #7508)
The MOT Scholarship Fund provides need-based awards for promising students enrolled in the MOT program. (Fund #3559)
The TLI General Scholarship Fund provides need-based or merit-based scholarship awards to support students in any of TLI's graduate programs. (Fund #2899)
The TLI Discretionary Fund provides support where it is needed most, including such areas as programs, events, or alumni activities. (Fund #7826)
