Attention December 1 Scholarship & Grant Applicants:

After making changes or updates to your online application, please notify TCF via email at tcf@thecirifoundation.org to let us know what changes have been made. This small action will significantly improve our ability to manage the application process for you and the other 330+ students that we are working with.

The quickest way to attach supporting documents (such as a course schedule, proof of enrollment, or letter of reference, etc.) is to go to Manage Files from the Student Dashboard, once you have logged in. Please do not fax or email supporting documents to The CIRI Foundation.

Although the December 1 application deadline is now closed, students can still create online student profiles at any time. Your request for a student account must be approved by TCF before you can access the online application. After your student account is approved, then you can login with your username and password to begin the online application process.

If you need help applying online, please review this handout - "How to Apply Online"
