How can I apply for scholarships at Lane Community College?

I'm interested in applying for scholarships at Lane Community College to help with tuition. Does anyone know about the scholarship application process or any specific requirements?

Applying for scholarships at Lane Community College involves a few steps. To start, you would need to complete your FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) first as many scholarships use the information from your FAFSA to determine eligibility.

After that is done, you can apply for Lane Foundation Scholarships, which provides over $750,000 in scholarships to Lane students each year. This process opens every January and closes in March of the following year for the following academic year. You'll submit a single application to be considered for nearly 200 scholarships. There's no separate application process for each individual scholarship; your one application will be matched with scholarships for which you're eligible.

In terms of requirements, you must plan to attend Lane Community College at least half-time (6 credits for most programs). Some scholarships do have additional requirements (like major, GPA, or financial need), but these will be listed in the descriptions when you apply.

Remember, while applying to scholarships via the college, you should also look for local, state, and national scholarships through platforms like Appily or your high school's guidance counselor, too. These external scholarships can also help reduce your costs significantly.

And finally, be aware of scholarship scams- any service that requires you to pay them for scholarship information or applications is usually a scam. You should never have to pay to apply for scholarships.
