T3 First Dollar - Student Income Requirements

Students must meet the following income requirements according to the FAFSA/TASFA application they submit before their first year in college. Students must complete the T3 Financial Form the Spring/Summer before enrolling in college so T3 may determine their eligibility for the T3 First Dollar Scholarship.

First Dollar Continued Eligibility

Here's what you need to know:

T3 Scholars must be awarded the Summer before their first semester in college to be considered for this award while enrolled in college. There is not a reconsideration process for First Dollar.

Current Recipients:

First Dollar recipients must remain continuously enrolled at a T3 4-year partner university each Fall and Spring semester. Scholars who transfer to a non-T3 partner or take a gap semester will become ineligible.
First Dollar recipients do not have to submit the T3 Financial Form every year. Financial eligibility is determined once, the Spring/Summer before their first semester in college.
First Dollar recipients will receive funding for up to 8 consecutive semesters or the completion of an undergraduate degree. NOTE: First Dollar is only awarded in the Fall and Spring. Disbursements are not offered for Summer semesters.

Transfer Scholars:

First Dollar Scholarships may be offered to T3 Transfer Students who 1) transfer from a 4-year Partner to another or 2) transfer from TCC to a 4-year Partner. Click here to learn more.

Last Dollar is awarded by your college, not T3. T3 Scholars should always contact the financial aid office at their college to learn more about their eligibility and continued disbursements.

Current Recipients:

Last Dollar recipients must remain continuously enrolled at a T3 partner college each Fall and Spring semester. Scholars who transfer to a non-T3 partner or take a gap semester will become ineligible.
