Scholarships are funding sources that do not need to be repaid. Scholarships are offered by schools, employers, individuals, private companies, nonprofits, communities, religious groups, and professional and social organizations. Ensure scholarship information and offers you receive are legitimate. Remember that you should not have to pay to find scholarships or other financial aid.
The South Central College Foundations annually awards over $300,000 dollars in scholarships. View our SCC Scholarships page for more information.
You may want to consider applying for outside scholarship opportunities not associated with SCC. Here are a few examples:
