About the Foundation
And The Scholarship
The educational focus of Alvas and Valerie Tulloss was not lost on their children. One by one, each of their children pursued and finished their educations. Among the educational achievements of the children of Alvas and Valerie Tulloss were: one PhD in Chemistry, one DDS, one Dental Hygienist and Educator, one Engineer, one Industrial Hygienist, and one Paralegal.
The highest honor their children felt they could bestow on their parents was to complete educational goals and then support the educational pursuits of others. Therefore, in January 2000 the Tulloss Family established The A & V Tulloss Educational Foundation. The first two $500 scholarships were awarded in August 2001. And from 2001 through January 2024, the foundation has awarded almost 50 scholarships to High School Graduates entering college, as well as students pursuing graduate degrees.
