Off-Campus (External) Scholarships

There are many students who have been awarded a scholarship from an outside agency and want to apply their award to their costs of attending TMCC. In most instances, the organization granting the award mails a check to the Financial Aid Office, indicating the student’s name and NSHE ID number in the memo line.

Students seeking external scholarships have many resources. Our External Scholarship Board is available both online and in person at the Financial Aid Office. Additionally, scholarship workshops are held throughout the year; please check the TMCC Events Calendar.

Tribal Scholarships

Scholarships for eligible Native Americans are offered through the individual tribes and some national organizations. Students initiate the application process by contacting their respective tribal office.
