TCC is helping to eliminate the financial burden of attending college, and now is the time for Tulsa County seniors to take advantage of this opportunity. Applications are now being accepted for the 2008 Tulsa Achieves Scholarship program.

Providing students in Tulsa County the opportunity to attend college based on their ability to achieve, not on their ability to pay, is the primary reason for the Tulsa Achieves scholarship. By doing so, TCC will increase the number of Tulsa County residents with higher education degrees; increase the number of skilled professionals available in the Tulsa job market; encourage students to graduate high school; and encourage community involvement through service learning/community service.

The Tulsa Achieves scholarship program pays up to 100% of tuition and fees for up to 63 college credit hours for students living in Tulsa County and graduating from a public or private high school. Home school graduates who reside in Tulsa County are also eligible for the scholarship.

Tulsa Achieves is a gap-funding scholarship program, meaning that funds are applied to tuition and fees after all state, federal and private scholarships and grants are applied. If there is a remaining balance, Tulsa Achieves will pay the rest so there is no cost to the student.

To receive the Tulsa Achieves scholarship, the student must live in Tulsa County and graduate from high school with a 2.0 GPA or better on a 4.0 scale. Home-schooled students living in Tulsa County must provide parent verification.

Students must meet the following criteria to remain a Tulsa Achieves scholar while at TCC:

maintain good academic standing (2.0 GPA or higher)
enroll continuously each fall and spring semester (summer optional)
complete a financial aid application (FAFSA) each year
provide 40 hours of community service per academic year

Deadline for application for the Tulsa Achieves Scholarship program is April 30 of each year.
