TCC Foundation Scholarships
How Do Foundation Scholarships Work?
Each year, the TCC Foundation awards about 200 scholarships worth over $350,000 to help with the cost of tuition and fees for TCC students. A TCC Foundation scholarship is a gift, not a loan, so you won't have to worry about paying it back!
The Process
Scholarship applications for the 2026-27 academic year will be open Jan. 1 - March 31, 2026. These scholarships will be awarded from May through August, 2026. Once you have applied, please check your TCC email inbox regularly throughout the summer to find out if you have been awarded.
