Scholarships
East Texas Communities Foundation administers a variety of scholarships that have been established by generous individuals to assist students with their educational pursuits. Each scholarship expresses a deep belief in the power of education to help young people achieve their dreams.
East Texas Communities Foundation scholarships are awarded competitively based on criteria set by the donors. These criteria could include financial need, the school the applicants are attending, academic achievement, as well as personal or career goals. ETCF has a rigorous internal selection process for each scholarship decision and each applicant is reviewed in depth and considered thoroughly.
HOW TO APPLY
1. Review Your Scholarships
Donors who value education establish scholarships for many reasons: to honor or memorialize a loved one, to encourage students as they pursue specific fields, to support study at a specific institution and to bridge the gap for students need. ETCF offers scholarships in the amount of $500 to $5,000. Scholarships can be used for tuition & fees, room & board, and/or books & supplies. All payments are made to the college or university.

2. Begin Your Application
East Texas Communities Foundation has one general application that utilizes a matching tool that asks a series of questions and will match you to all the scholarships you qualify for (students majoring in visual arts, art history, music, music education, theater or dance should also use the Arts Matching Tool in addition to the General Matching Tool). Once you are “matched” you will need to read through the scholarship descriptions, double check you are eligible for the scholarship and complete the general application.
You only need to fill out the application one time and it will pre-populate all the scholarships you qualify for. If an application has an additional essay or needs additional materials uploaded (FASFA, acceptance letter, etc.) you will be directed to those sections on the individual application.
Click the Apply Now button to access the general matching tool, review scholarships you qualify for and create a login ID and password. This initial process will take 10-15 minutes and is easier if done on a Chromebook or computer but is considered mobile-friendly.
ETCF offers a few non-traditional scholarships that are outside of your general matching tool and application. Only students currently attending or accepted to medical school in Texas are eligible for the Sherilyn A. Willis, MD Medical School Scholarship. Applications are due February 1.
3. Additional Submission Requirements
In addition to the application, you will need to submit the following documents (look for the blue cloud throughout the application that indicates something needs to be uploaded).
- 2 letters of reference must be sent through the application. One must be from a teacher that can speak to your character/behavior in the classroom. Your application will be disqualified and not considered, if you do not have at least one reference from a current or former teacher.
- A copy of your ACT or SAT scoresheet, if applicable (found in Section 5. High School Academic Information)
- a copy of your high school transcript including grades from the fall of your senior year (found in Section 5. High School Academic Information)
- a copy of your college transcript, if applicable (found in Section 6. College Academic Information)
- a copy of your FASFA with Expected Family Contribution (EFC), if applicable (found in Section 13. Financial Information) If the scholarship is considered a “need based scholarship” and a FASFA is not included your application will be disqualified and not considered.
4. Review Your Application
Please review your application carefully before hitting the submit button.
Make sure you have answered all the questions accurately and completely.
5. Submit Your Application
Submit your application online. If your references are still outstanding, you will be notified and your application will show as “pending” until they have been submitted.
