What are some NC scholarships for community college students?

I'm planning to attend a community college in North Carolina before transferring to a four-year university. Does anyone know of any scholarships specifically for NC community college students that I could apply for?

One great scholarship you may want to look into is the Golden LEAF Scholars Program - Two-Year Colleges. This program provides funding to North Carolinian students from qualifying counties, planning to attend a participating North Carolina community college during the 2024-2025 academic year. The maximum award is $2,250 per year for curriculum students and $1,000 per year for occupational education students.

Another scholarship opportunity is The Aubrey Lee Brooks Scholarships. This scholarship is awarded to students from a specific region within North Carolina who demonstrate financial need and have been accepted to a North Carolina community college. The scholarship covers half of the student's educational expenses.

For students with a focus in technical education, there's the SECU "People Helping People" Scholarship - Community College Transfer. This scholarship was created for community college students transferring to a member of the University of North Carolina System.

Finally, the Dallas Herring Achievement Scholarship is awarded to students who best embody Dr. Herring’s philosophy of “taking people where they are and carrying them as far as they can go.” It’s open to current North Carolina community college students with plans to continue their education at a four-year college or university.

Remember to check with your specific community college as well, they often have their own scholarships available for students! Good luck with your college planning.
