TFC Scholarship and Grant Recipients

Incoming students, please note that your financial aid package is based upon your final cumulative GPA from either your high school or college. A final transcript must be received by the Office of Admissions upon completion of the last term at your most recently attended school.

Returning students, please note that your financial aid package is based upon your final cumulative GPA at TFC at the required checkpoints.

HOPE Scholarship Recipients

Graduating 2007 high school seniors, your HOPE Scholarship may have been awarded based on your preliminary high school HOPE GPA of at least a 3.00. This award will be canceled if your final high school HOPE GPA is less than 3.00.

Transfer and returning students, your HOPE Scholarship may have been awarded based on your preliminary HOPE GPA of at least a 3.00. Failure to maintain a 3.00 HOPE GPA at the required checkpoints: 30, 60, 90 attempted hours and at the end of each spring semester will result in this award being canceled.

Federal Work-Study Awards

Please keep in mind that even though you may have been awarded Federal Work-Study, this is just an indication of your eligibility and it is your responsibility to secure a job on-campus. You can check on availability and qualifications via the "Student Employment" link: http://www.tfc.edu/adm/sa/student_employment .

Students that are awarded federal work-study cannot use these funds to reconcile their student account since wages are paid directly to students.

Federal Stafford and PLUS (Parent) Loan Borrowers

The loan amount on your Award Letter indicates the amount that you have accepted and may have been based on an anticipated grade level for the 2007-2008. Any change in grade level may affect the amount of loan that you are eligible to borrow. Loan borrowers may be charged a guarantee and/or an origination fee of up to 4% of the loan. For instance, if you borrow a $2,000 loan, you may only receive $1,920 ($2,000 minus the 4% fees).
