The Service Tradition of TC3 Scholarship

Established by an anonymous donor, this program will support the development of a strong work ethic among full time TC3 students, reinforce the value of community service, and reward academic success through a program of financial assistance designed to replace student loans.

Full-time students must: 1) have been employed for at least 10 hours per week prior to starting college. The student must either have, or be prepared to obtain, employment for at least 10 hours of work per week during the academic semester. 2) have a record of volunteer service as a high school student or as an adult member of the community and be willing to devote a minimum of 30 hours per semester to volunteer service while enrolled. Volunteer service may include a combination of service activities, leadership, and athletics. 3) have demonstrated the potential for academic success through high school grades or placement tests. Preference will be given to students who are working on their first TC3 degree.

Once a student is accepted to the program, the award will continue until he/she receives his/her degree, unless a recipient fails to meet the criteria for the second semester. In order to continue as a member of The Service Tradition of TC3 a student must: 1) be employed for at least 10 hours per week during the academic semester. 2) devoted a minimum of 30 hours per semester to volunteer service in community or College-based organizations in the past semester and be willing to provide 30 hours of volunteer service in the current semester. 3) maintain a GPA of 2.7 or better.
