CFT universal scholarship application

DirectoryScholarship

This is a group of awards reached through one application. Each award inside it has its own rules.

Award
Donor scholarship amounts, duration and renewal vary by fund.
Deadline
Universal application reopens in January 2027. 2026 fund deadlines ranged from February 13 to May 15.
How to apply
Use the CFT universal portal application and complete each fund’s required financial section, essays, recommendations, transcript or other documents. Requirements differ; no documents are accepted outside the portal or after the fund deadline.
Who can apply
Primarily North Texas students, with some statewide, national and other-state school or employer funds. High school, undergraduate, graduate and vocational opportunities have different residence, citizenship, GPA, testing, need and enrollment rules.
Good to know
The application page confirms reopening in January 2027 but still lists 2026 donor deadlines. Published donor examples have different award and continuation rules; one C.V.M. entry conflicts between $10,000 and $15,000. Aggregate foundation funding and recipient counts are not individual award values.
