Tri-C General and Foundation Scholarships

Eligibility

• Complete Tri-C admission requirements, the 2026–27 FAFSA and the general scholarship application for the current aid year.
• Returning students need at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA; new students are not assigned that returning-student threshold.
• Enroll in at least six credits per semester and remain enrolled for the full term, with any higher fund-specific requirements.
• Current employees, visiting students, non-degree students and College Credit Plus students are excluded under the public application disclaimer.

Requirements

• Upload the required scholarship essay as a Word or PDF document and complete any matched fund-specific tasks.
• Many current portal listings close February 27, 2027, but the general application page does not publish a universal deadline. Check the selected award rather than assuming every opportunity closes then.
• Individual funds may impose additional GPA, program, enrollment or other donor criteria. Renewal and amounts vary.
• Monitor Tri-C email for requests, status changes and award instructions.
