2024 Kenneth Bice Vocational Scholarship Recipient

Alexis Surrett is a senior at Etowah High School in Attalla, Alabama. With graduation on the horizon, Alexis is not only receiving her high school diploma but also her short term Welding certification from Gadsden State Community College. This achievement is just the beginning of her journey as she prepares to transition into a full-time role at the Anniston Army Depot. Alexis's determination and growth over the past few years have been nothing short of inspiring. She has set her sights on a stable and fulfilling future, aiming for the highest clearance level at the Depot. With a strong drive for personal and professional success, Alexis is ready to seize every opportunity and make a lasting impact.

TCI has the desire to support and encourage high school seniors who plan to pursue an associate degree or a certification in a vocational trade / career tech field. With this in mind, we have established the Kenneth Bice Vocational Scholarship in honor of the founder who started TCI in 1979. Over the past nine months we have been recognizing students that demonstrate an eagerness to learn, displays honesty and integrity, and is a leader among his/her peers in their chosen vocational trade / career tech field. Each student that was recognized monthly had the opportunity to submit an essay to be selected for one of four cash scholarships - two $1000 and two $500 scholarships.

We are excited to announce the 2023-24 recipients of the Kenneth Bice Vocational Scholarship to four very deserving students. 

TCI is honored to have met so many outstanding students over this past year, and we look forward to continuing to encourage and support students in the vocational trade / career tech fields.
