TCF Proud

We’re excited to launch TCF Proud, a new series celebrating the accomplishments of TCF recipients and alumni.

Our first feature highlights Dylan Boston, who used a CTE scholarship to complete AVTEC’s Plumbing & Heating program. Dylan’s journey shows how flexible CTE support can lead to hands-on skills, career opportunities, and contributions to community growth.

You asked for it, and we’re responding: In our recent Community Needs Assessment, nearly 80% of respondents said FAFSA support would help them succeed. That’s why we’ll offer on-the-spot help to get started with FAFSA and TCF scholarship applications.


Students who sign up for their FAFSA account at the Potlatch will be entered to win a cash prize.


Alumni: Interested in a special alumni dinner after the potlatches? Please email TCF's Director of Advancement and Community Engagement Marianne Fanger to join the wait list.
