The Tommy Tranchin Award was established at The Dallas Foundation to support students with physical, emotional, or intellectual disabilities who have shown promise or passion in a chosen field of interest. Tommy's family wants to recognize his creativity and adventurous spirit by helping other young people with disabilities develop their own talents and explore new opportunities. Please note that the Tommy Tranchin Award is not intended to offset costs associated with obtaining a college or university degree. Instead, the award is intended to support creative projects, performances, training activities, and participation in workshops, seminars, and competitions. Creative proposals for new work are especially encouraged. Applicants must be a student in North Texas in grade level 8-12. They must want to participate in an activity, program, or project that will help strengthen their skills in their particular area of interest. Please visit the award's website or contact the Dallas Foundation for more information.
