About This Scholarship

The Enterprise Access HBCC Scholarship is the community-college companion to TMCF's Enterprise Access HBCU program. Funded by Enterprise Mobility and administered by the Thurgood Marshall College Fund, it awards up to $1,500 each to 34 students attending historically Black community colleges, paid in a single fall 2027 disbursement toward tuition and fees.

Applicants must be enrolled full time during the 2027-2028 academic year at a TMCF member school, hold a cumulative GPA of 2.75 or higher, and be U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents. The program is open to all majors, requires the 2027-2028 FAFSA on file, and asks students to demonstrate financial need.

Community college students are chronically underserved by private scholarships, which makes a dedicated HBCC program notable. The application mirrors the HBCU version: a two-minute video on how you plan to use your education to change the world and the community impact you intend to make.

Eligibility

  • Full-time student at a historically Black community college within the TMCF member-school network
  • Cumulative GPA of 2.75 or higher
  • U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident with valid documentation
  • 2027-2028 FAFSA on file; demonstrated financial need
  • Open to all majors

How To Apply

  • Register on the TMCF Scholarship Portal at scholarships.tmcf.org
  • Complete the 2027-2028 Enterprise Access HBCC Scholarship application
  • Record and submit a two-minute video on how you plan to use your education to change the world
  • Submit before January 8, 2027 at 11:59 p.m. EST

Why Trust The College Investor

The College Investor has helped millions of readers navigate paying for college and student loans since 2009. Every scholarship in our database is individually reviewed by our team before it goes live, and re-checked regularly so deadlines and links stay current.

Our Scholarship Standards

A listing here means our team checked that the award is real, currently active, and actually pays out. We won't list a scholarship that:

  • Charges any kind of fee to apply
  • Makes you join a paid membership, or sign up for an app or service, just to be eligible
  • Has a privacy policy that would let the sponsor sell or misuse your information
  • Collects essays, ideas, or contact details mainly to feed the sponsor's marketing
  • Can't show a winner from the past 12 months, or offers no way to reach the sponsor

One nuance: established companies and nonprofits that run applications through their own systems may still be listed, even though creating an account there is part of applying.
