A principal goal of the Fostering Achievement Fellowship program is to ensure that Fellows have adequate financial resources available in order to maximize the potential for their academic success. Throughout a Fellow’s time at TCC there will be multiple opportunities to complete financial literacy workshops and trainings. Many students are eligible for the DCF tuition waiver or the Post-Secondary Educational Support Services (PESS) stipend, although primary responsibility for ensuring these benefits falls to the Department of Children & Families and Big Bend Community Based Care, it is the duty of FAF to assist in ensuring that proper services are in place.
