Each year, TRIO’s Scholarship Program gives thousands of dollars in academic grants to members and their families. In the past 16 years TRIO has awarded approximately 108 scholarships to deserving students who are transplant candidates, recipients, donors or their family members. These scholarships are generously funded by several TRIO chapters, individuals and interested organizations. Each recipient receives $1,000 toward their education at colleges and universities throughout the United States.

The TRIO Scholarship application deadline was June 30, 2012. The 2013 application will be posted here in January.
