Presidential Scholarship Program

For full consideration, students must have an application for admission submitted by April 1st.

• Students submitting after April 1st will be considered on a case by case basis and funding availability.

• Students must complete a Terra State Foundation Scholarship Application to be considered. You can complete the scholarship application here.

All new first-time students planning to enroll at Terra State Community College for the Fall 2024 term may be considered for the Presidential Scholarship Program.

• Readmit and New Transfer students will have the ability to take advantage of Foundation Scholarships.

This is a last-dollar scholarship that will be applied toward tuition and fees.

• Applicants may qualify for additional scholarships (Athletic, Terra Foundation) but will not be awarded institutional aid in excess of tuition and fees. Students can only qualify for one scholarship (Founder’s, President’s or CCP) but will not be awarded in excess of tuition and fees.

Students have the ability to renew a scholarship for six consecutive terms by maintaining a cumulative GPA of 2.3 or higher each term.

• Summer may be used an option but is not required when considering consecutive enrollment terms.

The FAFSA must be filed every year in order to receive any of the scholarships noted.

Students receiving the Presidential Scholarship must be enrolled in at least 9 credit hours per semester.

• Scholarship amounts will be adjusted for students enrolled less than full time status (9 – 11 hours) as the awards amounts are set to accommodate full time enrollment status.
