Disbursements close on December 31st.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW:

  • In late June, we reach out to the recipients via their PERSONAL email with instructions on how to access your funds.

  • In that email will be a link to an online form that you must fill out to receive your scholarship(s).

  • Use your PERSONAL email for the Wufoo form (do not use any school email).

  • The form will ask you to upload proof of enrollment, your most recent transcript, and the Financial Aid letter from your school. The requirements for your award(s) will be confirmed with this information.

  • We cannot disburse any funds until we receive the completed form. All funding will go directly to the school or a 529 Savings Account.

  • Scholarships not claimed by December 31st of the award year will be forfeited (unless we are otherwise notified with arrangements made and/or deferred).

  • If your email address changes, please let us know immediately as this will affect future communications.

  • If you change or leave school, please let us know immediately. A new form will be required for every new school attended and each year of school to receive funding.

  • Returning students are fully responsible for completing a new form for each new school after their first year to receive funding. You will also be asked to upload your enrollment for the upcoming year and your most recent college transcript (to verify qualification status) .

DEFERMENTS:

Occasionally students need to defer an award. TCSP may allow students to defer and requests are considered on a case-by-case basis. Students may defer their awards for up to 1 year for a gap year, academic, health, and financial reasons or up to 2 years for a religious mission. This could change based on terms set by your award, so read the details of each award to know if a deferment is allowed. To be approved, this form must be completed and submitted immediately upon decision:‍ ‍Deferment Form‍ ‍Failure to complete the form will result in a forfeiture of that year’s funds.

WHAT EXPENSES DO TCSP SCHOLARSHIPS COVER?

TCSP thrives to provide students as much flexibility as possible to pay for their post-graduate education. These expenses may include:

  • Tuition and fees

  • Books, course materials, supplies, and equipment

  • Cost of on-campus housing and meal plans

  • Transportation expenses for credit earning travel abroad programs*

  • Fees related to school medical insurance

  • Costs of obtaining a license, certification, or professional credential related to your degree or program. Some awards may allow purchasing to go towards tools and equipment if specified for trade/vocational programs.

  • Please note that the IRS is stricter on what it considers qualified educational expenses. Funds used for non-qualified expenses like housing, food, travel, and insurance may be subject to taxes.

  • Please keep in mind that not every scholarship can be used for every expense. The specific parameters of each scholarship are outlined on the‍ ‍Application Website under each award description. You will need to log in with your high school login details throughout the length of your award(s).

WHAT EXPENSES ARE NOT COVERED? examples are:

  • Personal expenses, such as entertainment, recreation, clothes, self-care and grooming services, etc.

  • Activities that do not generate credit toward your degree, certificate, or license

  • Non-academic programs, such as National Outdoor Leadership Program (NOLS) and Outward Bound

WHAT TO DO IF YOU RECEIVE A SCHOLARSHIP YOU NO LONGER NEED

TCSP scholarships are intended to supplement, not replace, any financial aid, grants, or outside awards the you receive, and are meant to help cover the remaining balance of your educational costs. Before funds are released, TCSP reviews each student’s school invoice or billing statement so that awards are applied appropriately. If our review shows that your costs are already covered, we will contact you to discuss your options. If you receive grants or other scholarships that cover your expenses, leave school for more than one year, or graduate early, you have the option to relinquish your scholarship, allowing another student to possibly benefit from this award. Please let us know right away if this is the case.

WHAT IF I DON’T MEET THE AWARD REQUIREMENTS?

Each scholarship has its own set of requirements you must continue to meet, such as attending a specific school, studying in a particular field, or other criteria outlined in your award letter; if any of these change, please contact the Scholarship Director right away. This includes meeting the minimum GPA listed for your award. If your GPA falls below that requirement, reach out to us immediately so we can review your situation and discuss your options, which may include a one- or two-semester review period, a brief extension, or forfeiture of that year's funds. To view the requirements, you can log into your Blackbaud account (scholarship application site), click on “My Applications” and click on each award to view details. The link is located below in Resources, Forms, and Links at the bottom of this page.
