Applying for a SCC scholarship
Scholarships will continue to be awarded as funds are available. Students applying for scholarships must complete the FAFSA. Scholarships are intended to help students successfully complete their SCC education and can be applied toward direct educational expenses only (tuition, fees and books). The amount of any scholarship will be determined after all federal and state grant aid has been deducted from the student’s direct educational expenses. Students will receive an SCC financial aid award letter that details their financial aid and eligible scholarship award amounts. Final awards will not be determined until total costs and available financial aid grants are calculated. If a student’s educational expenses do not exceed the total of his/her federal, state and outside scholarship/grant aid, a student may not have a need for scholarship funds.
