The Shaw Legacy Society for TC3

The philanthropic support of TC3’s alumni and friends is crucial to the ongoing success of the College and helps provide our students with access to a high-quality and affordable education. The Shaw Legacy Society for TC3, the College’s heritage society, invites you to join us in making a difference in the lives of TC3’s students.

Established in 1994, The Shaw Legacy Society for TC3 recognizes and honors a special group of donors who have generously provided for the College in their estate plan or have established a permanently endowed scholarship at TC3. Named in memory of Richard R. Shaw, the former Director of Financial Aid and Placement at the College, Shaw Legacy Society for TC3 membership is a reflection of the highest personal values and a commitment to supporting educational excellence at TC3.

Dick Shaw, who served the TC3 community until his untimely death in 1978, worked closely with students from all walks of life to ensure they had the opportunity to pursue an education and meet their career goals. Planned giving at TC3 is a reminder of Dick Shaw’s legacy of commitment to our students and supports innovative academic programs, scholarship opportunities, and cutting-edge technology for individuals who are striving to improve their quality of life - students with a desire to achieve academically and professionally.

When preparing your estate plan consider making a planned gift to TC3. With various types of planned gifts you can create your lasting legacy and help ensure that future generations of TC3 students continue their personal and educational growth.
