FAQs

The recipient is responsible for the program fee’s remaining balance after the scholarship has been allocated. TGP’s standard Terms and Conditions apply.
How competitive are TGP scholarships?
On paper, I don't qualify for your scholarships and still need financial help. What do you recommend?
We recognize that diversity can be represented in many ways, and family income may not fully represent your story. We recommend that you apply and also consider these additional funding resources.
How do you determine financial need?
Candidates who are selected for a scholarship will be required to provide FAFSA documentation (or similar) to prove financial need in order to receive the scholarship.
