In what year did TSA become a non-profit corporation?

The Technology Student Association (TSA) became a non-profit corporation in 1978. This marked a significant moment in the organization's history, allowing it to officially operate under a structured framework aimed at advancing technology education for students. Establishing itself as a non-profit created opportunities for TSA to seek funding, support, and resources that would enhance educational programs, competitions, and events for students interested in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). The formation of a non-profit status facilitated the growth of the organization, promoting technological skills and leadership among students nationwide.
