One of the ways that UCT invests in the future of our communities is by investing in students. We do this primarily by sponsoring three scholarship programs to help students meet the financial challenges of a college education. Since this is the time of year when students start thinking about applying for scholarships, it seems like the perfect time to post a reminder of what UCT offers and when applications are due:
The UCT Heaston Scholarship helps students achieve their dreams of a college education. The program consists of three scholarships granted to three students annually; each covering four years of undergraduate education. The scholarships are:
– The Jack & Betty Heaston Memorial Scholarship – $6,000 per year for four years
– The Betty Y. Heaston Memorial Scholarship – $3,000 per year for four year
– The Jack Heaston Memorial Scholarship – $3,000 per year for four years
Applications are due March 15 and scholarship awards will be announced after April 1. Click here for the scholarship guidelines and application.
The UCT Scholarship Program, funded by UCT Charities, provides scholarships to students and teachers seeking college degrees or certification to work with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Applicants must meet specific guidelines. Applications are due by Nov. 15. Click here for the scholarship guidelines and application.
