Please join us in congratulating the Freshman Class (Class of 27') and their families on signing the Mineola-TJC Promise Scholarship!
The Mineola-TJC Promise Scholarship was created three years ago through the generous contributions of citizens and distinguished alumni to provide an avenue for all future Mineola ISD graduates to have a pathway to an industry-based certification or Associate's Degree at Tyler Junior College.
These students and their families will have the capability to start a four-year degree or go to work with limited to no debt! The Mineola-TJC Scholarship Program is yet another tool for our students to be learners today and leaders tomorrow!
