College Scholarships
Support Local High School Seniors in Achieving their Dreams
Every year, we receive numerous inspiring scholarship applications from students eager to pursue their dreams. Scholarships are awarded based on financial need, merit, area of study, and other criteria—but we never have enough funds to support all the deserving applicants.
Your donation to the TTCF Community Scholarship Fund helps us support more students take the next step toward success through college or vocational school.
Together, we can make their dreams a reality.
In 2024, the number of applicants for college scholarships through TTCF increased by 15%.
Donate NowA seamless process
Tahoe Truckee donors are dedicated to supporting the next generation of leaders. Their generosity has grown local scholarships from $264,250 in 2017 to over $1.5 million in 2024!
To simplify the process for donors and students, TTCF provides a free online common application platform. This system allows local students to apply for 100+ scholarships, managed by TTCF and other organizations, through a single application. When students are eligible for scholarships requiring additional information such as essays or letters of recommendation, they are alerted by the software, ensuring equal access to opportunities.
TTCF handles every aspect of the process: managing applications, organizing review committees, and assigning eligible applications to reviewers. While each committee independently selects recipients, they work together to distribute funds equitably across applicants.
By making the application process more efficient, TTCF helps donors maximize their impact and gives deserving students the support they need to pursue their educational dreams.
