Service Tradition Scholarship Program

The Service Tradition of TC3

“TC3 offers so many wonderful opportunities and classes. And there is such an abundance of support, it’s like I have my own cheering section. Extra help is there any time I need it. And without the Service Tradition scholarship, there is no way I’d be able to afford college.”
- Carrie-Lee Buchanan-Pierce, Service Tradition Scholar
