Our History
Establishing the Foundation
In 1969, a few years after the establishment of Tri County Tech Vocational School, District #1, the Tri County Tech Vo-Tech Foundation was established. Initially, the Foundation focused on providing funds to students enrolling in the Nursing Education program.
Over the years, the Tri County Tech Foundation has evolved to include a much larger student population. Foundation assistance is available to students currently enrolled in the majority of our Full-Time & Adult Career Development (ACD) programs. We assist students in need who qualify in three critical areas: Tuition Assistance, Emergency Aid, and Food Assistance.
Today, the Tri County Tech Foundation has a phenomenal commitment from TCT staff members, with 100% of TCT staff contributing over $60,000 annually to the Foundation. This internal commitment demonstrates the strong belief in the good that the Foundation is doing. Among staff members, this commitment is seen as providing a better future for generations to come.

Seth’s journey at TCT began with mentorship and scholarship.
“Tri County Tech and the Foundation has immensely changed my life. I drove an hour and twenty minutes one way to go to class for almost two years, and the Foundation helped with my expenses. Tri County Tech is a happy place to be; it is a family.”
