TEF Community Impact Scholarship Award for Graduating Seniors

The Trumansburg Education Foundation (TEF) Community Impact Scholarship is awarded annually to a graduating TCSD senior who, through volunteer work, service activities, projects, or other inspiring efforts, has made a positive impact on their community. The $1,000 scholarship is to be used for reimbursement of expenses related to post-secondary educational pursuits (tuition, books, fees, etc.). To be considered for this award, applicants must be graduating TCSD seniors who have been accepted to a college or other post-secondary educational institution. Students electing to apply to AmeriCorps or other well-established service organizations may also apply for this scholarship to help cover related expenses.
