TC3 Foundation Scholarships
One of the Foundation's most vital activities is the scholarship program in support of students at the College. Community college students face many financial obstacles. Traditional forms of aid offered through the Office of Financial Aid are often not enough. The Foundation has developed several programs that augment student aid and help to ease this financial burden. The Foundation offers these funds through the generosity of community donors who recognize the need to support educational opportunity.
Individuals or organizations interested in establishing a scholarship or grant-in-aid fund should call the development office, 607.844.8222, Ext. 4366 or E-mail Karen Macier. All gifts to the Foundation are tax-deductible. This page provides a current listing (2008-2009) of the scholarships and grants managed by the TC3 Foundation, Inc. Many of them are funded by businesses, organizations, and individuals in the community.
All scholarships require a written application, brief statement of need, and two letters of recommendation. Scholarships considering financial need also require the FAFSA. These forms are available in the financial aid office.
We do our best to keep the scholarship information current and correct. However, the donors may change this information at any time.
NOTE: Scholarship award amounts are contingent on investment performance as well as numerous annual gifts from our donors. While the TC3 Foundation makes every effort to publish the most current information in the brochure, please note that award amounts as well as available scholarships may change prior to their actual award.
