WORKFORCE SCHOLARSHIPS FOR YOUNG ADULTS

Investing in Tahoe Truckee's future with workforce scholarships

Workforce scholarships aim to strengthen high-demand professions and vocations in the North Tahoe-Truckee region. These scholarships are designed for young adults from the area who have a clear career path, demonstrate a strong work ethic, and show financial need.

Currently, scholarships are available in three categories:

Successful transfer from a 2- to 4-year institution: Applicants should have a clear plan to complete their degree.

Vocational or career technical pathways: For individuals who have been out of high school, discovered their career goals, or local professionals seeking to advance their careers through certification or credential programs.

Graduate school track: For those pursuing advanced degrees in fields essential to the region.

The 2025 application process opens in May, with students required to enroll for the Fall 2025 or Winter/Spring 2026 semesters.

A COMMUNITY INVESTMENT

Workforce scholarships support young adults who are pursuing vital career paths that the Tahoe Truckee region needs. Since 2022, a growing number of local donors, foundations, and businesses have come together to address the urgent need for certain skilled professionals in our region.

Due to the high cost of living and local housing crisis, it is increasingly difficult to attract and maintain a local workforce. This impacts our local nonprofits, schools, hospitals, airport district, hospitality industry, and many trades and vocations. It impacts all of us when we don’t have enough teachers, counselors, first responders, or people to help us maintain our homes and properties.

TTCF is grateful for the donors who have come to the table to invest in young adults who are ready to return to school or advance their knowledge and skill sets.
