Scholarships for community college and trade school
November 28, 2023 · 2 min read
Most scholarship coverage assumes a four-year path. Plenty of money exists outside it.
Scholarship advice skews heavily toward four-year colleges, which leaves students headed to community college or a trade program assuming there's nothing for them. There is.
Imagine America funds career and technical school students. Many state promise programs — Tennessee Promise among them — cover community college tuition directly. Phi Theta Kappa runs transfer scholarships for community college students moving to four-year schools.
Industry associations are the other big source: automotive, HVAC, culinary, welding, and healthcare organizations all fund students entering their fields, often with far fewer applicants than academic awards.
