Tri County Contractor’s Association (TCCA)
2008 Scholarship Guidelines
I. Scholarship Program
The Tri County Contractor’s Association will provide selected scholarship recipients with tuition funds for the 2008-2009 academic year. Full-time and part-time students from all academic levels – including incoming freshmen, under-graduates and graduate students – who represent a variety of majors and career goals, in a construction related field are encouraged to apply.
Applicants will be judged on both academic and citizenship achievements – financial need will not be considered. Final selections will be made by a scholarship committee that will determine the amount awarded to each recipient. Applicants will be notified by mail of the final selection and the amount of their award.
The scholarship may be used only for payment of tuition and/or academic fees, and any remainder must be credited to the second term’s tuition and/or academic fees for the academic year.
