A Letter from Chancellor LeBlanc

Dear Friends and Partners,

As we celebrate 60 years of trailblazing, I am honored to share the 2025 Tarrant County College Foundation Impact Report. More than an account of scholarships awarded and milestones achieved, the report applauds you. Your generosity creates opportunities for hundreds of students like Marie Claude-Mutomb, Patricia Mansilla, Cayman Griggs and Vanya Calderón. Their stories — of courage, accomplishment and persistence — remind us that a top- shelf college education can change individuals, families, even entire communities. Tackling higher education is a brave step. Many TCC Trailblazers already have jobs and care for families. They must enter a new environment and accept new responsibilities. The challenge is real, but they have tenacity and grit, and universities, businesses and industries all want them. Make no mistake, your assistance turns their courage to momentum, and their dreams to lasting impact.

The Foundation presented over $800,000 in scholarships over the last academic year that put wishes in motion and people to work. From first-generation students to returning adults, aspiring artists to future healthcare professionals — your support removes barriers and transforms lives. Together we are building something bigger than any one campus or classroom. We’re shaping the future of Tarrant County. We are enhancing our academic and training offerings and enriching student support programs. We are meeting workforce demand for one of the nation’s fastest growing regions and lifting quality of life. And we are doing it all with your support. When we lift each other — students, faculty, partners, neighbors — doors don’t just open, they open wide, and they stay open.

On behalf of the entire TCC family: Thank you. Thank you for believing in the power of education, and in the potential of every student we serve.

Some wait for their future to reveal itself. With your help, we create ours.
