TCF awards 102 local scholarships

TIFFIN — The Tiffin Community Foundation presented 102 scholarships this spring to individual students across Seneca County. The scholarships were awarded through 46 different donor-established funds, reflecting a broad base of local support and philanthropy. For recipients, the scholarships offer more than just financial help — they serve as recognition of hard work and encouragement to pursue higher education. Many donors, in turn, report a sense of fulfillment in seeing their contributions directly impact local students.
