"We are excited to welcome Trulieve as a partner and thank them for their generous contribution," said Michael Hurlbert , Director of Strategic Partnerships at TMCF. "Higher education should never be out of reach for students who are eager to learn, and this partnership means that more students will have access to a college or university education without the financial burden it too often comes with. Today's college-bound students are facing incredible challenges, but through support from partners like Trulieve, we are able to make a difference."
