TFCU'S Annual Scholarships

2026 Entry Period: May 18th - 29th

TFCU is committed to supporting students in their educational journey by awarding three scholarships. One grand prize of $5,000 and two $2,500 scholarships will be awarded to deserving students.

Scholarship Recipients & Awards

We will be awarding scholarships in the following categories:

Grand Prize - $5,000 (reserved for a high school student entering college)
Two Scholarships - $2,500 each

  • One will be awarded to a high school senior entering college.
  • One will be awarded to a non-traditional student (current college student, adult returning to college, or master’s degree student).

To celebrate, we kindly ask recipients to submit a video or picture representing their chosen school (e.g., t-shirt, hat, foam finger, etc.) so we can share on social media.

Scholarship funds will be sent directly to the recipient’s designated school.
