The application for 2010-2011 Scholarships are no longer being accepted.

Criteria
Applicants must be admitted or currently enrolled at SCC.  Applicants will be judged on the basis of

1. Scholastic Achievement*
2. Financial Need
3. Demonstrated Character
4. Activities in School and Community
5. Work Experience (current and past)

*NOTE: Certain awards are based strictly on financial need and do not consider academic achievement in their criteria, although minimum eligibility requirements apply.  To meet this guideline, a current Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be on file at SCC.  Students must maintain a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 (cumulative and term) and be in good academic standing while attending SCC to be eligible to receive an award.

Notification of Selection
Letters will be sent to all applicants and a list of recipients will be posted in the Student Affairs Office and Foundation Office on each campus upon selection. A list of recipients will also be available on SCC’s website.
