TCU attracts an academically motivated student body with widely diverse backgrounds. Consequently, many students receive awards from sources outside the University. Students are encouraged to explore funding options available through corporations, civic groups, foundations, employers, and religious organizations. Additionally, many high schools, public libraries, and college Financial Aid Offices (including TCU's) have scholarship resource materials which can assist you in your search.

Reporting Outside Scholarships
Students
are required to report all non-university, donor-selected
scholarships, also referred to as “outside scholarships”, to
the TCU Office of Scholarships and Student Financial Aid.
Outside
scholarship funds are considered as resources and must be
counted in the total financial aid package.
It may be necessary for adjustments to be made to the
financial aid awards to be in compliance with federal, state
and institutional regulations.
We make every attempt to reduce loans first, if
possible.
The TCU
Financial Services office will not be able to consider any
outside scholarship funds reported in their calculation of
anticipated financial aid.
How to Report Outside Scholarships
Report
your outside scholarships on
http://my.tcu.edu
under Financial Aid Home/Requested Information.
Complete the Supplemental Information online form.
If you have changes or additions to your Outside Aid,
you may make these changes on the Update Outside Aid link on the
Financial Aid Home Page.
