TCU Mission Statement Scholarship

The TCU Mission Statement Scholarship was first created in 2002 in partnership between the Chancellor’s Office and Student Success to provide a Mission Statement Scholarships totaling $6,000 each year. Three undergraduate students (rising seniors) are presented a $2,000 award at the spring Celebration of University Leadership for the next academic year in recognition for demonstrating excellence in fulfilling the TCU mission. TCU rising seniors and December graduates who are in good standing with the university are eligible to apply. Students are eligible to apply only once during their TCU undergraduate education. If you graduate after May 2027, it may be more beneficial to consider applying at a later time. Please use your best judgment to determine when to apply, knowing you may apply only once. The references are very important to those reviewing your application. Please be sure to consider this when choosing individuals to write a recommendation.
