TMC 2017 Scholarship Golf Outing a Success!

TMC 2017 Scholarship Golf Outing a Success!

Outstanding academic and athletic programs attract potential students to Thomas More College, and student financial aid and scholarships seal the deal. During the 2016-17 academic year alone, 99 percent of TMC’s traditional, full-time students received scholarships or other financial aid. As a vehicle for raising dollars to directly benefit students,TMC hosts the Scholarship Golf Outing. This year’s Outing was held on Monday, May 22. The generosity of Golf Outing sponsors and golfers allows the College to award more than $13 million in scholarships and grants annually.

Scholarships are vitally important to students and their academic success while attending TMC and beyond, i.e. for the third year in a row, Thomas More College has earned the ranking of #1 for Return on Investment among colleges and universities in the state of Kentucky (2017, 2016, 2015) from PayScale.com. This support is invaluable in preparing students for the future, for example 96 percent of TMC’s Class of 2016 were employed or in graduate school within six months of commencement. Funds raised from this Outing, allow students to pursue their educational goals and realize their dreams to make a difference in the world.
