Tom Haggai and Associates Foundation Scholarship
The Tom Haggai and Associates (THA) Foundation was founded by Dr. Thomas Haggai with the purpose of providing assistance "so young people would be prepared to help the youth of our country." As a recipient of various scholarships and grants to fund his education, Dr. Haggai appreciated that he had been able to graduate from college without financial debt. In creating the THA Foundation, he hoped to pass on the same kindness he had experienced. In 1966, the THA Foundation awarded its first scholarship after Dr, Haggai asked 120 people to contribute $120 each. Over the years the Foundation's impact has grown — with about 192 scholarships being awarded since 2000.
In recognition of the need for more qualified teachers, particularly in the grades K - 6, the Tom Haggai and Associates (THA) Foundation Scholarship was established at the College of Education and Human Development at George Mason University in the fall of 2001. It is the Foundation's intention that scholarships be awarded to non-traditional (or career switcher) students who demonstrate they are dedicated and committed to teaching in grades K — 6.
