Scholarship Opportunities

Tri-C General Scholarship Application
Ohio War Orphan Scholarship
Folds of Honor
Folded Flag Foundation

In addition to the above scholarships, Tri-C also offers its own scholarships. Browse through them in the Scholarship Opportunities booklet. Some of the scholarships are specific to veterans.

If you plan to apply for Tri-C scholarships, you must first fill out your FAFSA. After you have completed the form, you may apply for scholarships. Keep in mind, these types of aid can alter how you use your military benefits by extending available time or reducing benefits. Discuss the pros and cons with your campus certifying official or a Veterans Campus Support Team representative before accepting scholarships.

You may also be eligible to receive a Federal Pell Grant on top of your military benefits. Visit the Federal Student Aid website and click "Start Here" to fill out your FAFSA and find out. If you are eligible for and accept the Pell Grant, this money would not affect your military benefits.

There are also many places you can find third-party scholarships with varying requirements, such as College Now Greater Cleveland and the Cleveland Foundation.

Scholarship Tips: 

When applying for scholarships, keep in mind your major, experiences and additional volunteer work. Keep a complete updated resume to pull information from. It also helps to have pre-typed essays that can be used or changed for specific scholarships, etc. Remember, seek scholarships that reflect your uniqueness, area of study and veteran status.
