I've heard there are specific scholarships for Hispanic students at Pasadena City College. Does anyone know what the process is like to apply for these? Are there any specific requirements or deadlines I should be aware of?
Pasadena City College (PCC) indeed offers some scholarships that would specifically benefit Hispanic students. Although the specifics may vary year by year, here are some points to guide your application process:
1. Application: Typically, the PCC uses an online application portal where students can fill out a general scholarship application. This single application automatically considers you for multiple scholarships which you are eligible for.
2. Criteria: The criteria for scholarships depend on the specific scholarship fund; some are need-based while others are merit-based. Some scholarships might specifically cater to Hispanic students or those studying fields with traditionally lower Hispanic representation.
3. Deadlines: This can vary as well, but it's common for scholarship applications to open in the spring for the following academic year. It's always a good idea to check the PCC scholarships page regularly for updates about specific deadlines.
4. Required Documents: Scholarships typically require some sort of written component such as an essay or personal statement. Some may also ask for recommendation letters.
Remember, the College's financial aid office is a great resource if you have specific questions about the scholarship application process or eligibility. Good luck!
