Honoring Our Fallen Comrades

TF-7294 scholarships commemorate and honor the brave men and women of TF-7294. This scholarship fund is a tribute to their dedication, courage, and the lasting impact they have made on our lives and our country. In 2026, we are proud to announce the SFC Antonio R. “Rod” Rodriguez Memorial Business Scholarship (“Rod Scholarship”), established to honor SFC Rodriguez’s legacy of service, leadership, and excellence. A long time member of the 75th Ranger Regiment and later a Cryptologic Linguist with 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne), Rod exemplified integrity, selflessness, and quiet professionalism throughout his service. He made the ultimate sacrifice on February 8, 2020, during combat operations in Afghanistan. This scholarship supports TF-7294 members and family members who are graduating from high school or trade school and planning to pursue post-secondary education or trade school. By investing in education, we aim to carry forward Rod’s legacy and continue the task force’s commitment to excellence and service.
