Red Blazer Stipend

For the first year, all youth members are required to wear the FCCLA blazer for all sessions at NLC. The FCCLA National Board of Directors has allocated funds for each state to assist chapters with purchasing blazers for state attendees. The funding provided will allow Tennessee FCCLA to provide 140 students with a FCCLA red blazer. Since the funding is capped at 140 blazers, each chapter will be limited to 3 free blazers maximum, with NLC Star Event Qualifiers receiving priority. Due to the limited funding, all blazers will be provided on a "first come, first served" basis until funding is exhausted. Advisors wishing to apply for the three free blazers will need to submit the Tennessee FCCLA State Red Blazer Order Form by May 15.
 
Chapters can also purchase blazers with their own funding. Tennessee FCCLA will order from Twin Hill. Advisers can order through Twin Hill by following the instructions below:
  • Blazers are $65 for standard sizes and come with the logo patch attached. The blazer style is fitted and has inset pockets. 
  • To order a Twin Hill blazer please visit www.twinhill.com/fccla and use your chapter ID as your user id and then welcome1 as your temporary password.  The sizing chart is on their site.
