Terra State offers scholarships for short-term certificate programs
In partnership with the Ohio Department of Higher Education, Terra State Community College has been awarded an additional $13,750 through the Short-Term Certificate Grant Program (STCGP).
The STCGP allows students to receive a certificate for up to $2,000 each. To enroll, current and prospective students must show financial need. Eligible programs include those that are Pell-eligible and non-Pell eligible. “The Short-Term Certificate Grant Program is a great opportunity for students to reduce out-of-pocket expenses that other financial aid may not cover.
