THCF’s General Scholarship Application period runs from December 1, 2025, through February 16, 2026. Students should visit https://www.thcf.org/students/scholarships/apply-now to learn more and apply. 

THCF’s General Scholarship Application takes basic information from applicants and automatically matches them with more than 50 scholarships they may qualify to receive. These include scholarships for undergraduate and graduate degrees, as well as career and technical certification programs. 

Once students are matched, some scholarships may require additional documentation, such as Fall 2025 transcripts, essays, letters of reference, or activity summaries.   

Some THCF scholarships have separate stand-alone applications, and their deadlines and requirements vary. Full details about all THCF scholarships can be found at https://www.thcf.org/students/scholarships/scholarship-directory. We encourage students to apply for each scholarship for which they are eligible. 

“Our scholarship program is one of the most impactful ways THCF serves our communities,” said Rachael Cassiday Watkins, THCF’s Director of Scholarships. “We know that education is one of the most important factors of future success, but college tuition and career and technical certifications just keep getting more expensive. Our scholarships help ensure that recipients have the opportunity to pursue their dreams by reducing that financial burden.”  

In 2025, THCF awarded over $970,000 in 516 scholarship awards to 392 students. Since 1982, THCF has awarded more than $8.4 million to help students reach their educational goals.
