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 all the scholarships offered below. Familiarize yourself with the requirements for each, because you will need to have all documents gathered prior to applying. Additionally, each scholarship has it’s own specific essay, and some scholarships require additional information specific to their application.

Step 1:

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

Step 2:

Review the Resume Example here. It is not required that you use the exact format shown, this is just an example. It is essential that you reference at least three of your most meaningful Leadership Experiences, Volunteer Experiences, and include your extra-curricular activities. Please do not list more than five items for each of these sections. Prepare your Resume for upload during the application process. This file will need to be uploaded for each scholarship you apply for.

Step 3:

Obtain a certified transcript that lists your classes, grades, and ACT score. This file will need to be uploaded during the application process for each scholarship you apply for.

Step 4:

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 prepared, essays written, and digital files ready for the scholarship you are interested in being considered for, click below on the scholarship name to apply for it. A separate application will need to be submitted for each scholarship you wish to be considered for.
