Awards and Scholarships

Over the years, alumni, friends, and parents have supported TASIS in a variety of ways, including supporting the Alumni Annual Fund, Parents’ Annual Fund or a Capital Campaign, marketing the School to prospective TASIS families, organizing reunions, or serving in leadership roles (e.g., Alumni Annual Fund Chair, Class Agent, Board, etc.) TASIS takes great pride in the support we receive from the broader TASIS family. Alumni, Friend & Alumni Parent Support Make a Difference 

The Pritzlaff Leadership Award
A gift from alumnus John Pritzlaff '72 inaugurated the Pritzlaff Leadership Award. A senior is selected for this award based on demonstrated dedication to public service outside of the TASIS community, initiative toward making a positive change for an individual or for a community, and encouraging the involvement of other TASIS students in the public service ideal. The $500 award may be either donated by the recipient to a non-profit organization the student recommends, or used by the student for university expenses. A plaque hangs in the DeNobili Common Room with the name of each year's recipient. The first recipient of the award was Tessa Klein , followed by Mayu Arimura, Melissa Klein, Masa Yo, Sheila Tursini, Stefano Vaglietti, Katie Howell, Sabrina Chu, and Andrew Pelly.

The Edward E. N. (Ned) & Edyth K. (Dee) Lynch Designated Fund
This fund was initiated by Ned Lynch PG '66 to honor the memory of his parents, who recognized the importance of the TASIS international educational experience. It provides a scholarship and /or academic travel financial aid in keeping with the vision of Mrs. Fleming. To be eligible a student must demonstrate academic achievement, established community leadership and/or involvement, and enthusiasm for the opportunity to study abroad.

The Cathy Clark Memorial Fund
Alumni parents, Col. Robert G. and Ann Z. Clark, established the Cathy Clark Memorial Fund to honor the memory of their daughter, Catherine Elizabeth Clark, who attended TASIS for six years and graduated in 1987. After she graduated from George Mason University, Cathy served in the headquarters of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (BATF) in Washington, DC. There she was recognized for her distinguished service to BATF personnel and for developing an outstanding AIDS awareness program. She was subsequently appointed a Special Agent of the BATF but tragically died in a auto accident while en route to her new duty station. Her parents have established the Cathy Clark Memorial Fund as a reminder of her commitment to public service and law enforcement. The award recognizes students who demonstrate a dedication to public service, and/or wish to pursue a career in law enforcement. The Cathy Clark Memorial Fund recipients to date are: Mehron Torrans, Kiril Mondeshki , Levent Turkmen, Hailey Parsons, Hristina Kircheva, Robin Gilli, Jennifer Tollefson, and Sylvie Coll.
