TTC Foundation Scholarships

In This Section

With over 170 scholarships available to students, the TTC Foundation has many opportunities to support our diverse student population. These scholarships help students pay for tuition, books, and program supplies with the overall goal of removing barriers for student success.

With one simple scholarship application, we will match each student to all the scholarships for which they are qualified.

The TTC Foundation Scholarship Application for the 26/27 academic year is NOW OPEN!

Apply Now

Deadline to apply is Sunday, June 7, 2026 at 11:59 p.m.

To be eligible, students:

must have at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA
must be enrolled in a degree, certificate or diploma program
must be enrolled at least part time (6 credit hours total per semester)

Part 1 of the Scholarship Application is required.

Part 2 (additional questions) and Part 3 (essays) are optional, but encouraged since those will qualify you for more scholarships.

*NOTE: some scholarships are based on a student's financial need, so if you wish to qualify for more scholarships, please complete the FAFSA form. Learn more about how to complete the FAFSA or get assistance HERE (see Step 2).

For more information or questions, please contact us.

The scholarship application will be open from 2/12/26 to end of day 6/7/26.

No! We have one simple scholarship application for you to complete. We will then take your information and find all the scholarships for which you are eligible This means you don't have to worry about completing multiple applications or even figuring out which scholarships you should apply for, saving you both time and energy!

The current application is for the 2026 - 2027 academic year. The scholarships can be used for Fall 2026 and/or Spring 2027 (with a few being available for Summer 2027).

Yes! The majority of our scholarships are available to students in any program. There are other scholarships that are designated for specific programs of study or have other requirements.

No! While some specific scholarships might have higher GPA requirements, the vast majority of our scholarships require a 2.0 GPA.

While it's not an absolute requirement to complete the FAFSA for our scholarships, we do highly recommend it. Some scholarships have a requirement for financial need, which we cannot calculate unless you have completed the FAFSA. Plus, completing the FAFSA gives you the opportunity for much more financial assistance from TTC. Learn more & get help with the FAFSA here (see Step 2).

There are 14 scholarships that require an essay to be eligible, so if you want a chance to get those, you will need to complete an essay.

If you don't, there are still over 150 scholarships that you could qualify for without doing anything extra.

It is highly recommended that you do give it a shot, though! Read the criteria in Part 3 of the application for each of the essays, and if you meet those, it's worth it to make the extra effort. We get very few essay submissions, so your odds of being selected may be higher.

On the application, f you choose "YES" for one of the scholarships that require an essay, you will receive a separate email for each essay you were interested in doing.

In that email, it will show you the requirements again, as well as a link to this etrieve form where you can submit the essay (you will need to log in using your TTC student email and password).

You can only submit 1 essay per etrieve form, so if you are doing multiple essays, you will submit a new form for each.

Our scholarships are awarded based on criteria established by the donor, which may include: financial need, GPA, program of study, community service, and/or essay submission.

Applicaitons are evaluated by a scholarship selection committee comprised of TTC faculty and staff as well as TTC Foundation Trustees.

For scholarships requiring an essay, they are scored numerically based on content, grammar and spelling. Each essay is scored by three reviewers and the scores are averaged to get a final score.

Awards will be made in early August 2026 before the Fall semester begins. Be sure to keep an eye on your TTC student email for notification. We also send a text to students when the award emails go out to help.

It's easy to accept your scholarship! In your award email, we'll include a link to this etrieve form (you will need to log in using your TTC student email and password).

Enter your first and last name (your student ID will automatically be filled in).
Select the scholarship you were offered from the dropdown list.
Click a box to agree to the terms of your scholarship award.
Attach a PDF of a thank you letter for the scholarship donor.

Important: If you are a high school senior planning to attend TTC after graduation, you must complete the following steps before you can access the scholarship application:

Submit a TTC application through the Admissions Office. You will receive a TTC student ID number and an email account once your application is processed. View the step-by-step walkthrough of the enrollment process HERE.
Submit a high school transcript to the Admissions Office (part of Step 2 in the enrollment process linked above). Once the college has added transcript data to your record, you may access the scholarship application.

Please contact us if you have any questions so we can direct you to the appropriate person to assist you.
