Cleveland Community College Foundation Scholarships
Established in 1983, the Cleveland Community College Foundation’s mission is to build a strong development program to ensure quality education and financial stability for the College. The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation. All contributions to the Foundation are tax deductible as provided by law.
Scholarships offered through the Foundation are classified as endowed or annual. Only the interest earned on endowed gifts may be used by the College. Annual scholarships are awarded from contributions to the annual scholarship fund. Applications for Foundation scholarships are available through the guidance counselors’ offices of the four area high schools, and the Financial Aid Office of the College. Applications must be submitted to the Financial Aid Office by April 1.
Criteria for Foundation scholarship consideration: Foundation scholarships are open to all qualified residents of Cleveland County. Scholarship recipients are expected to be full-time students with financial need and/or academic promise. Selection is determined by the Scholarship Committee of the College based on applicant's good citizenship, interest, ability to succeed at the College level, and if appropriate, demonstrated need for financial support. Students wishing to obtain more information about scholarships should contact the Financial Aid Office. All recipients must write a 'Thank You' letter to the donor before scholarship funds are applied to the recipient's account.
