TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (August 6, 2010) — The deadline has been extended to August 11 for Tallahassee Community College students enrolled in information technology and computer-related fields to apply for a scholarship that will pay half of their tuition for the Fall 2010 semester and a $100 textbook stipend.

Funded through a partnership between Tallahassee Community College, the University of West Florida and Florida’s Great Northwest, the Northwest Florida Computing and Engineering Training Scholarship Program is designed to develop and increase Florida’s computer technology workforce by helping students earn their college degree or certificate in an associated field.

All students in A.S. degree or certificate programs in the following fields are eligible for scholarships: computer programming and analysis, computer programming specialist, help desk/technical support, networking services technology, information technology management and information technology technician; along with many other areas. Furthermore, A.A. students with the intent to transfer into engineering or computer-related bachelor’s programs are also eligible. Both new and current TCC students can apply for scholarships, but must maintain at least a 2.0 grade point average.

With the August 11 deadline approaching, TCC students must not delay. Apply for the scholarship online at www.tcc.fl.edu/scholarships.
