SCHOLARSHIP QUALIFICATIONS
TGEF scholarships are open to high school seniors, college undergraduate, and graduate students who are employees or the dependents of employees of a TGCSA member company. Student employees must have been employed for at least six months, and parent employees must have been employed for at least two years as of January 1, 2020. A TGCSA member company must still employ the employee during the time the winners are selected in April.

​Scholarships are awarded based on academic merit, employment, and involvement in activities. Additionally, several awards have specific eligibility criteria. By completing one application, students are evaluated for all scholarships in which they are eligible.
​Undergraduate student applicants must be planning to enroll as a full-time college student in the Fall 2019 and Spring 2020 semesters at an accredited college or university in the United States.

​Graduate student applicants must be planning to enroll in a graduate program during the Fall 2019 or Spring 2020 semester at an accredited college or university in the United States.
​All scholarships are one-time awards that are applied to the recipient’s educational expenses at any accredited college or university in the United States. Awards are not renewable; however, students can re-apply each year if they continue to meet the eligibility requirements.
