Our Programs
Supporting students and educators across Transylvania County
TCSEF partners with Transylvania County Schools to bridge gaps in public education through four core programs—meeting basic needs, investing in educators, and expanding opportunities for students.

Core Programs
Where your support makes an impact
Each program is designed to remove barriers to learning and strengthen classrooms—so students can show up ready and educators have what they need to teach.

Backpack Buddies
School break food support for students who may not have reliable access to meals outside of school.

Student Scholarships
Scholarships that help graduating seniors take the next step toward college, career, or training.

Teacher Supply Closet
A resource for educators to access essential classroom supplies—reducing out-of-pocket costs.
Creative Classroom Grants
Mini-grants that help educators bring innovative ideas to life—hands-on learning, new materials, and student-centered projects.
From STEM activities to arts integration, these grants spark curiosity and help teachers pilot approaches that can scale across classrooms.
How It Works
Programs built for real needs—delivered through our schools
