How to Apply

Application

Submitting the TJC scholarship application will allow students to be considered for most scholarships offered by the College.  Exceptions include Fine and Performing Art Scholarships and Athletic Scholarships.  Based on the information provided in the scholarship application, the student will be considered for every scholarship for which they meet the criteria.

The application form must be completed on-line before printing.  Hand-written forms will not be accepted.  For high school seniors, the counselor verification form found at the end of the application should be printed and taken to your high school counselor for completion by hand.    

Deadline

The priority deadline is March 1st for the following academic year.  Applications are accepted at any time; however, keep in mind that many students compete for scholarships.  It is highly recommended that you apply as early as possible.

Need-based

Some general scholarships are need-based and require the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) be completed according to respective deadlines established by the TJC financial aid office.  Need is determined differently for different types of aid.  While some students may not be eligible for federal aid, they may be eligible for state aid or scholarships.  It is a good idea to apply for all types of aid.
