Reorganized in 1992, TSHF continues to add scholarships and research funds and hosts a yearly educational leadership conference. This is considered sponsorship of a fund. Fund patrons and sponsors may determine the criteria for choosing the recipient and may specify which university programs the student may attend.
Interest earned from the donations is used to fund the scholarship or research grant.
A simple one-page contract is generally all that is required. Until a fund becomes self-supporting, the Foundation will supplement the interest earned so that awards can be made annually. Speech-language pathologists, audiologists, students, and professionals from related fields are invited to attend. Financial support for the Mauzy Leadership Conference is provided by the Oscar Mauzy Education Program Endowment Fund. The Frank Brister Capital Fund was created in 1999 to provide funding for operating expenses of the Foundation as well as to support TSHF special projects.
