About the Event

TF-7294 Foundation will host its 2nd Annual Scholarship and Awards Gala on April 11th. This event will bring together U.S. military & government senior leaders, intelligence professionals, and key industry partners to recognize our 2026 scholarship recipients. This year, we will also honor three distinguished members of the intelligence community who made impactful contributions to national security and the global war on terrorism.

The intelligence professionals of TF-7294 have served and continue to serve our nation’s calling without pause since the historic events that shaped our nation’s war on terrorism — spanning 7,294 days from September 11, 2001, to the final day of U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan on August 31, 2021.
