GIVE A GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING

“I am currently pursuing an associate’s degree in CNC machining while living with my mother in Honea Path. My father, who passed away three years ago, worked in the industry […] This scholarship means a great deal to me, because since losing my father my family’s finances have been stretched thin. Being able to attend school has really improved my outlook on the future.” - James Rochester, CNC Machining major and 2021 scholarship recipient

“Thank you for your generosity. I cannot describe the compliment it was to receive word from TCTC that I would be receiving a scholarship for the fall and spring semesters. I have worked so diligently to maintain a 4.0 GPA and to never waste a moment. To see that it did not go unnoticed sure meant a lot to me. A simple “good job” certainly would have sufficed, but to see that you believe in what Tri-County is doing for our community and believes in me as a student enough to donate their hard-earned money for my education, is more than anyone could ask for." - Sierra Barrs – 2021 Scholarship Recipient, 32 year old pursuing a nursing career with 4 children

“I am a 43-year-old single parent with four children… I work full-time as a bookkeeper for a company in Seneca, SC. When I complete my degree, I plan to work in the medical field (my major is Administration Office Technology with a Medical Emphasis). I cannot tell you enough how much of a relief this scholarship is to me. Trying to raise a family and work full time is overwhelming. Receiving my education from Tri-County Technical College is important to me for self-worth and for my children to see that no matter how old you are, your education is still important." - Amanda Key – 2021 Scholarship Recipient, Administrative Office Tech Major
