Empowering Futures

Building Brighter Tomorrows

The TMSDC Education Foundation, established in 1994 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, has been dedicated to enhancing educational opportunities for at-risk students in the Metropolitan Nashville School District. For over 30 years, we have provided critical support to students who might otherwise be unable to pursue a college education. Through generous donations from corporations, individuals, and community supporters, we unlock the potential of these students by giving them the financial resources they need to succeed. By addressing the economic barriers they face, we create lasting change in our community, one scholarship at a time.

Our Mission: Creating Pathways to Success

The TMSDC Education Foundation exists to provide financial support and educational opportunities to at-risk high school students and certified MBEs. Our mission is to ensure that these students and business owners have access to the resources they need to succeed academically, professionally, and economically. Through scholarships and specialized programs, we empower our recipients to achieve their full potential and contribute to a thriving, inclusive economy.

Our Journey: 30 Years of Empowering Education

Since its inception in 1994, the TMSDC Education Foundation has awarded over $2.5 million in scholarships to over 400 deserving students. We have proudly partnered with corporations, individuals, and community supporters to provide the financial resources needed for these students to pursue their educational dreams. Over the last three decades, our foundation has become a beacon of hope for many, helping to shape a brighter future for at-risk students in the Metropolitan Nashville School District.

Impacting Lives Through Scholarships

Every year, the TMSDC Education Foundation awards over $100,000 in scholarships to students in the Metropolitan Nashville School District. These scholarships help deserving students overcome financial barriers and pursue higher education at two- or four-year accredited colleges or trade schools. With the support of our donors, we continue to provide these life-changing opportunities that have a lasting impact on our community.
