I'm looking into financial aid options and want to maximize my chances. What's the process like for applying to scholarships at Clackamas Community College?
The scholarship application process at Clackamas Community College (CCC) is quite straightforward. To apply for CCC Foundation Scholarships, you will first need to check if you are eligible and then complete a couple of steps:
1. Be a prospective or current student at CCC: This means that you have applied and been accepted into a CCC course or program. You must also be enrolled in 6 credits or more per term.
2. Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA): CCC uses FAFSA information to award need-based scholarships.
3. Fill out the CCC Scholarship Application: This form is accessible via Academic Works, an online scholarship management system used by CCC. The application requires answering about a series of questions. Generally, the application opens in March and closes in April.
Through this one application, you're automatically considered for multiple scholarships for which you qualify. Note that some privately funded scholarships might require additional criteria or separate applications, so make sure to research and pay attention to details on every opportunity.
Remember, it is important to apply as soon as possible as many scholarships are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. The key here is to be prompt and comprehensive in filling out your information. Good luck!
