Thillen Education Foundation

Thillen Education Foundation The Thillen Education Foundation (TEF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization registered in the state of Georgia.

TEF is engaged in an innovative and collaborative effort to prepare young people to find success in a rapidly changing world. The Thillen Education Foundation is a distinguished community-based earned financial assistance program based on personal coaching and committed to honoring the achievements of 450+ students participating in Greene College & Career Academy (GCCA) of Greensboro, Georgia, a T

itle I school. Through corporate sponsorships and funding support from donors who share our commitment to ending generational poverty in Greene County, Georgia by financially enabling post-secondary education and skills training for hardworking students. In the near term, our foundation vision is to maximize GCCA student participation in the personal coaching program designed by Thillen Education Foundation. We raise funds to enable college-bound students to gain peace of mind that the burden of expenses for post-secondary education will be minimized and to empower trade-skilled graduates to begin a professional career with the appropriate tools and supplies. In the future, our vision is for the Thillen Education Foundation educational and financial assistance model to be replicated by our nation’s public schools, impoverished or wealthy, urban or rural. Thillen Education Foundation is committed to developing tested and proven intellectual property, including web-based program materials and guidebooks to enable communities around the country to establish similar structured programs that empower young people to engage with coaches in their future planning, earn financial assistance for scholarships or professional supplies, and reap the long-term rewards of post-secondary education and related professional opportunities

As graduates from the Class of 2025 prepare to take their next steps into higher education, the Thillen Education Foundation (TEF) hosted its first “Ask the Alums: Advice for Freshman Year” event Aug. 4 at the Greene County High School (GCHS) Career Center.

The evening was filled with inspiration, insight, and encouragement as recent graduates returned to offer candid advice and answer questions from incoming college freshmen and their families. Pizza — and plenty of wisdom — were served.

The panel included four standout GCHS alumni, now juniors in college:

Cameron Carmichael, Morehouse College, majoring in finance

Akeria Merritt, Kennesaw State University, majoring in finance

Jai’Lyn Armour, University of Georgia, majoring in marketing

Sherlyn Camacho, Georgia College & State University, double majoring in accounting and Spanish
