Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C®) offers many scholarship opportunities to students, including merit-based awards for students who excel in the classroom, awards to participate on Tri-C athletic teams, and awards to serve on the Student Government. By completing the General Scholarship application, students may be matched with one of more than 200 available opportunities to help pay for college and keep them focused on success and completion.
To apply for the Cuyahoga Community College Foundation scholarship opportunities, students should complete the online admissions application, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) using Tri-C's federal school code (003040) and the online Tri-C scholarship application.
Although the eligibility criteria can vary depending on the scholarship, generally, students should have at least a 2.0 or higher cumulative GPA and be enrolled in at least six credits per semester for the entire scholarship period. Specific eligibility criteria for each scholarship are noted in the scholarship opportunities detail. Some scholarships may require additional applications. Students will receive notification of scholarship awards via email.
Tri-C also provides Workforce Training scholarships to help students pay for Workforce Innovation programs and training. These scholarships help cover a portion of program tuition costs. However, they do not cover fees, books, supplies, or associated materials. Applications are reviewed weekly, and award letters are sent no sooner than one month before classes start. Funds are applied to student accounts after training begins.
To apply for Workforce Training scholarships, students should complete the online Workforce Scholarship Request Form. Before applying for a scholarship, students should reach out to their program contact to ensure they meet the eligibility requirements for the program.
Students awarded a Tri-C Foundation or Workforce Training scholarship are asked to submit a thank-you letter addressed to the "Cuyahoga Community College Foundation."
Total scholarship awards may not exceed the cost of attendance as determined by federal regulations and will be considered with all other financial aid received.
Disclaimer: Current Tri-C employees are not eligible to apply for scholarships.
