2024 Kenneth Bice Vocational Scholarship Recipient

Reese Colvin is a senior at Southside High School in Etowah County, Alabama. Growing up, classic cars have always inspired Reese, thanks to his family's love for car shows and his father's extensive knowledge of these classic vehicles. This early exposure shaped his ambition to one day own a business building custom classic cars. He dreams of creating unique, one-of-a-kind cars that reflect his personal style in every detail, from custom paint jobs to handcrafted interiors. While he knows the road ahead will be challenging, his father's words remind him that the only thing stopping him from achieving his goals is himself. Pursuing formal training in automotive collision and repair will equip him with the professional skills and knowledge needed to excel in the industry and turn his dreams into reality.

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.
