For more than forty years, we at the TELACU Education Foundation have had the honor of supporting first-generation college-bound students from low- and moderate-income households in achieving academic and professional success. We are so incredibly proud of each and every high school diploma, college and graduate degree, and internship and employment position that our Scholars and Alumni—including veterans and nursing school students—have earned over the past 42 years. And we are privileged to see them grow and thrive as inspirational professionals for their peers, families and all the generations yet to come.
Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of partners like you, our hopes and dreams of empowering these talented and determined young people have been far exceeded. Beginning with just 15 students, today TELACU Alumni number in the tens of thousands! We are humbled beyond measure to be called mentors and friends by these extraordinary individuals who have allowed us to be a voice in their lives—and who have become incredible leaders in our community and beyond!
I would like to acknowledge and thank each and every person whose investments and advocacy support our TELACU Scholars and Alumni in achieving their dreams. Our generous Partners, visionary Board of Directors, committed Advisory Board, and dedicated Staff propel our entire community, our Great State, and our nation forward. But there is more work yet to be done. And I look forward with great anticipation to continuing that good work in partnership with you.
With unending gratitude,
Dr. David C. Lizárraga
Chairman & Founder
