• high school transcript showing seven semester’s work for current high school students, or
• final high school transcript, or
• academic transcript(s) from postsecondary institution(s) where a minimum of 12 hours have been completed, or
• GED score

All scholarship applicants must:

• complete a scholarship application
• ask a reference to complete the recommendation form
• complete all FHTC Admission Requirements
• be a degree-seeking post-secondary student
• be pre-enrolled or enrolled in a program of study
• complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
• complete a technical certificate or equivalent if pursuing an Associate of Applied Science Degree (AAS)
• be enrolled full-time for priority scholarship consideration

Applications will be considered for all Foundation and Institutional scholarship opportunities.

Only one application  and recommendation form is required unless the specific scholarship criterion states otherwise. Certain scholarships have a specialized application process. The Scholarship Selection Committee determines awards. If a student does not demonstrate Federal Financial Aid need, it does not disqualify them from receiving an institutional scholarship.

Scholarship applications will not be processed until all required documentation is received in the Financial Aid Office. Applicants are responsible for providing complete information. The college will not contact the applicant to request additional information should the application be incomplete.

Priority will be given to full-time post-secondary degree-seeking students (12 credit hours or more or the maximum number of credit hours available for the program). If a student is enrolled less than full-time (minimum of 6 credits hours) and has completed all the general education courses, then funds will be prorated.

High school cumulative GPA or GED score will be used to determine eligibility. For cumulative college GPA to be considered, twelve (12) college credit hours must have been completed (regardless of where the students attended) and will be averaged to determine their cumulative GPA.

Scholarships are awarded for the academic year and begin the semester immediately following your notification and acceptance of the award(s). Awards will be applied directly to the student’s educational costs to cover tuition, educational fees, textbooks, and necessary supplies and will not be distributed to the student unless special situations arise. Half of the award amount will be given each semester, unless otherwise indicated. The scholarship is renewable for the second semester, conditional on maintaining a minimum 3.0 GPA for Foundation scholarships and minimum scholarship criteria for all other scholarships. Students must reapply for scholarships each academic year, unless otherwise indicated.

Scholarship recipients will be notified by the end of March or December (whichever is applicable) if they have received a scholarship. Students must accept scholarship awards and are required to send a thank you letter to the donor(s) of their scholarship(s). Scholarship funds will not be released until the FHTC Foundation receives the thank you letter(s).

Please refer to the Scholarship and Awards Brochure or the FHTC website for complete descriptions of all scholarships and awards.
