Educational Scholarships
In the honored Celtic tradition of passing wisdom, craft, and song down through the generations, the Tucson Celtic Festival Association is proudly dedicated to promoting Scottish and Celtic culture in the State of Arizona. At the very heart of our mission is a commitment to educate our community and keep our vibrant heritage alive through hands-on learning and cultural discovery. To fulfill this promise, the TCFA Scholarship offers a one-time funding gift awarded after thoughtful consideration by our Scholarship Committee to support educational needs across the Arts, Academic Education, Pipe Bands, Scottish Highland Dance, Heavy Athletics, and traditional Food and Beverage crafts. Whether you are mastering the pipes, leaping into Highland dance, or preserving ancient culinary traditions, we invite you to submit your application and help us educate, inspire, and pass the torch of Celtic heritage to the next generation.
