TEF Scholarships

One of our favorite things to do at TEF is award scholarships to well-deserving seniors in the Tooele County School District! Currently, we offer many different scholarships through our amazing sponsors. Scholarship applications will be due according to due date on application. Please contact your high school Scholarship Coordinator for detailed information.

The TEF Scholarship application for 2024 graduates is open. Click on each scholarship name in order to apply for each scholarship. An application must be submitted for each scholarship you plan to apply to.

Before opening the application, look at the overview for each scholarship offered below. Familiarize yourself with the requirements for each. You will need to have all documents gathered prior to applying. Additionally, each scholarship has its own specific essay prompt and resume requirements. Essay and resume writing tips are on each scholarship overview.

Step 1:

Review the Scholarship-Specific Requirements here. Prepare essays and gather the necessary documents required for each scholarship you wish to be considered for.

Step 2:

Obtain an UNOFFICIAL current transcript that lists your classes, grades, and ACT score. Highlight your name, cumulative GPA, and ACT score. This file will need to be uploaded during the application process for each scholarship you apply for.

Step 3:

Some scholarships require a reference letter from a school counselor, advisor, mentor, or coach (Roseann Davis Cosmetology Scholarship, Play Like Paige Scholarship, and Paige Rydalch Memorial Scholarship). Obtain this letter of recommendation.

Step 4:

Once you have all documents written and prepared, click below on the scholarship name to apply. A separate application will need to be submitted for each scholarship you wish to be considered for.
