C.A.T.S. Tall Club Scholarship Program

Central Arizona Tall Society (CATS) gives a $250.00 scholarship award each year to a local graduating high school senior who meets the height requirements to be a member of our organization.  This scholarship program is in conjunction with the Tall Clubs International (TCI) National program that gives $1,000.00 scholarships via “The Kae Sumner Einfeldt Scholarship Award”.

Tall Club International National Scholarship Program 

  CATS use this scholarship program to bring awareness to high school students (and their families) about the tall organization.  The fruits of our efforts have resulted in new members and publicity for us and tall clubs across the country as the students go off to college and careers throughout the nation.

This has been a very rewarding project for the members of our club who have participated in the selection of our local recipient.  Dozens of applications are reviewed and several finalists are selected for personal interviews and to confirm height.  The scholarship committee then decides on a winner who will represent CATS at the national level.  Two of our local winners have been recognized by our national organization, TCI.

Scholarships are limited to the Phoenix Metropolitan Area

  

Each year, notice is sent to all area high schools, informing them of the process for our local scholarship competition.
