Promises to Keep
The economic downturn can turn down our students. Scholarship funds at colleges across the country have been impacted by the turmoil in the world economy, and Tyler Junior College is no exception. Without help, TJC students who benefit from privately funded endowments may not receive adequate funding to continue their higher education. We need generous donors like you to help us keep our three promises. That’s why we’ve launched the “Promises to Keep” Scholarship Campaign to raise $350,000 in new scholarship funds. Your gift will help us continue to provide a quality education, a vibrant student life and community service. Please help. The sooner you give, the sooner students can begin or return to college!
 | “Receiving a scholarship was an honor. I take pride in knowing that I was one of the few selected from many applicants. Having great donors willing to give to help others is very important. It feels good knowing that members of my community are willing to help me in my education journey.” Joseph Birt

TJC Foundation Golf Tournament Scholar |  | “My scholarship means so much to me. Without it, I am not sure how I would have been able to come to TJC. It has also pushed me to work hard in class. This college is fortunate to have people willing to help students like me.” Amber Bailey
Freshman, Alba-Golden
Top Ten Scholar | | How quickly will my donation be awarded?
The sooner you give the sooner these students can begin or return to college. All Promises to Keep Scholarships will be awarded in the Fall of 2009. What is the amount needed for the campaign?
We are seeking to raise $350,000 to fund 250 one-year scholarships to TJC’s most deserving, full-time students. Who are you asking to help?
TJC is turning to our loyal supporters, heroes and friends to join us in this important effort. We are optimistic that together, we can keep our College family intact. Is it possible to make a donation online?
Yes.

Won’t you please help as we continue to meet the needs of tomorrow’s leaders? Your gift in this campaign will be truly appreciated.” Dr. L. Michael Metke
