Some of our recent scholarship recipients share the difference the funds made for them:

“I was extremely surprised when I was given multiple scholarships this year. I didn’t think students like me would qualify for such large scholarship awards. I think if you stay focused on your goal and push yourself, then returning to college is not as scary as people make it out to be.”  — Tonia Smith, National Defense Industrial Association Scholarship. Smith is a mother of two who works a full-time job in addition to attending TCC.

“I am extremely grateful for this scholarship and hope to find other opportunities in the coming months to cover the cost of my education.”  — Jordan Daggers, NAPA Auto Care Annual Scholarship.

“I chose TCC because I’ve always heard great things about how the teachers connect with their students more and for financial reasons.” —Kaileen Myers, TCC STEM Promise Program and Don Carey REECH Foundation scholarship recipient.
