Through this benefit of membership, the CFT has helped
hundreds of students reach their higher education goals by
awarding them Raoul Teilhet Scholarships.
Applications are now open for 2023. Please
follow this link to fill out your application.
The CFT offers scholarships to high school seniors and continuing
college students who are children or dependents of CFT members in
good standing. Students enrolled in four-year courses of study
are eligible for $3000 scholarships; those enrolled in two-year
programs are eligible for $1000.
The Raoul Teilhet Scholarship program began in 1997 when
delegates to the CFT Convention voted to establish scholarships
to assist children and dependents of members with the cost of
higher education. The program was named after inspirational
CFT President Raoul
Teilhet, who served the organization as president from
1968 to 1985. Convention delegates extended eligibility to
continuing college students in 2003.
