TCT Scholarships

TCT believes in the boundless potential of our young scholars and encourages all eligible students to apply.

TCT Federal Credit Union is proud to announce a scholarship opportunity for college-bound students! In partnership with New York Credit Union Association (NYCUA), we are opening applications for high school seniors attending two- or four-year accredited educational institutions as well as vocational or trade schools in 2025. The program is designed to provide funds that would be used toward tuition, room and board, books, and school supplies.

Just last year, TCT FCU awarded $14,000 in college scholarships, ranging from $750 and $1,000 to 16 students. NYCUA awarded $28,500 in college scholarships, ranging from $250 to $1,500 to 57 students.
At TCT, we believe in the boundless potential of our young scholars. This scholarship is more than financial support; it's a belief in their dreams and an investment in our community's future. We encourage all eligible students to apply and wish them success in their academic pursuits.
