Workforce Training Scholarships

Workforce scholarships, provided by the Cuyahoga Community College Foundation, help Tri-C students pay for the Workforce Innovation programs and training. Potential recipients must complete a Workforce Scholarship Request form online.

The Workforce scholarship requests are reviewed weekly, but the scholarships are awarded no more than one month before training is scheduled to start. The scholarships are applied to a student’s account once the training begins.

Workforce Training Scholarship Application Instructions:

1. Before applying for a scholarship, reach out to your Workforce Training Program Contact (listed below) to ensure you meet all the eligibility requirements for the program.

  • Students interested in scholarship funding for the Center for Entrepreneurs must contact the program directly at entrepreneur@tri-c.edu.

2. Students must have an active S-Number to complete the scholarship application.

  • New or inactive students should complete the Tri-C Admission Application to get an S-Number and My Tri-C space password.

3. Complete and submit all the required fields of the Workforce Scholarship Request form. Note: You must enter a start date for your training program.

Workforce scholarships cover only a portion of the program cost. If you need assistance with costs not covered by the scholarship, please speak with your program representative.

For questions regarding workforce scholarships and the status of your application, please contact workforcescholarships@tri-c.edu.
