SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

WHY CHOOSE STATE/COMMUNITY COLLEGE?

• May be close to home, lower cost, smaller classrooms
• Admission based on Regular high school diploma. Apply by January for admissions and

scholarships!

• Placement tests help with level placement (i.e. college credit vs. remedial non-credit

class). PERT used unless exempted by SAT/ACT scores.

• SAT: 440 verbal and 550 math - ACT: 17 English, 19 reading, 21 math
• PERT: Reading 106, Writing 103, Math 114 (Intermediate Alg) OR 123 (College Alg)
• Students who take college prep courses in high school are more likely to be

successful on the tests and not need remediation .

WHY CHOOSE STATE/COMMUNITY COLLEGE?

Two Primary Pathways

• Associate of Arts (AA) degree = guaranteed admission to state university (not necessarily university or program of

your choice-) acceptance of 60 credit hours towards your BA/BS degree and junior standing. You need to know your major, pre-requisite requirements, deadlines, etc.

• Associate of Science (AS) or other certificate = training programs to earn certificates for world of work.*high school

vocational classes taken for college credit may only be applied to this degree.

• TCC’s Previews– check website for dates and times. Features information on admissions, scholarships, financial aid,

degree and workforce programs, campus activities, information on Disability Support Services, and more.
