Since 1964, over 30 different awards and scholarships have been established by The TEP Foundation, Inc. either from the generous contributions of alumni, friends, and families, or by direct funding from Tau Epsilon Phi Fraternity.
At this time, not all awards and scholarships are funded, and not all awards and scholarships are awarded every year.
