## About this scholarship

The Community Foundation Tampa Bay Common Scholarship Application allows students to apply for multiple funding opportunities through a single online process. This program is primarily designed for students residing in the Florida counties of Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Hernando, and Citrus. Eligible candidates include graduating high school seniors, current college students, and adult learners who are returning to school to pursue higher education. The scholarships support various educational pathways, including professional certifications, technical school programs, and traditional college degrees. To be considered for these opportunities, applicants must submit their materials by the deadline of February 1, 2027. While the foundation does not explicitly require the FAFSA on its main application page, students are generally encouraged to complete the FAFSA or relevant state financial aid applications, as many individual scholarships within the common pool use financial need to determine eligibility.
