Celebrating Four Decades of Building the Dream!
With partners like you, for more than forty years the TELACU Education Foundation has continuously invested in our community’s most vital asset—our young people. Together, we have touched the lives of tens of thousands of students, transforming not only their futures, but those of their families and the people they go on to serve.
Proceeds from our Gala annually empower as many as 2,000 first-generation TELACU Scholars to continue Building the Dream of graduating from high school; earning their Bachelor’s, Master’s, JD, MD or PhD; and launching into successful careers, particularly in high-growth, high-impact sectors. These young people are the embodiment of the TELACU Mission Statement—to serve, empower, advance, and create self-sufficiency—and they will collectively perpetuate its fulfillment.
Your support enables us to provide not only critical financial resources, but also the academic and professional services, including mentors, guidance, and support our TELACU Scholars need to successfully navigate the complex college and professional landscapes. Their attainment of higher education, successful careers, and increased earning power lead to the economic empowerment of our community as they become the self-sufficient, well-educated professionals who infuse more capital into local economies and the role models who inspire and invest in future generations.
