TEACH Impact Story: Tessa

“The TEACH Scholarship has been the key to my success as a college student. With it, I have been able to achieve a grade point average that will qualify me to graduate Magna cum Laude along with maintaining my focus on my academics versus the pressure of affording an education. However, it is not just the financial support that made TEACH such an imperative part of my college journey; it has been the endless support from staff like Shannon Hall who provided information in a timely and organized manner. As a TEACH Recipient, I remained motivated to complete an associate degree in Early Childhood and a bachelor’s degree in Human Development and Family Relations. I am beyond grateful to TEACH. and the Early Childhood Council Leadership Alliance for supporting teachers in achieving their goals and dreams and assisting them in earning a higher education to benefit families and children attending schools in Denver.“
