CCBC Scholarships and Grants

We work to ensure individuals from a variety of backgrounds, with an array of talents, interests and challenges, can realize the benefits of a CCBC education.

Our friends in the community support CCBC's mission of providing accessible, affordable, high-quality education by contributing generously to scholarships that help many students attend CCBC.

Scholarships and grants are types of financial assistance that do not need to be repaid. They are typically awarded to students who have demonstrated financial need, academic merit, or are preparing for certain career fields.

3 steps which must be completed before applying for a grant or scholarship:

1. You will need your CCBC student ID number.

Admissions and Enrollment
    • This ID number was assigned to you when you applied for admission to CCBC. If you do not remember your ID number, contact the Admissions office.
    • If you have not yet applied for admission, apply now and you will receive your student ID number.
Financial Aid

2. Know your program of study.

Admissions and Enrollment
    • Visit SIMON to check your information. If you need to make a change, complete this Change of Student Information form and return it to the Enrollment Services Center.
    • Scholarships are linked to your program of study so it is very important that this information is correct.
Financial Aid

3. To be considered for any scholarship or grant, you must be registered for classes when you apply.

After completing admission, enrollment and financial aid steps, apply for a CCBC scholarship or grant.

Each scholarship and grant may have a different requirement. Be sure to read and understand the criteria and submit the requested documents.

Saying Thank You

Scholarships are funded through the generous contributions of donors and sponsors. If you are the recipient of a scholarship, you are expected to write a letter of thanks as your scholarship acceptance. You simply accept your scholarship and upload the thank you letter into your AcademicWorks account. No need for a stamp or envelope!

Tips for writing a thank you letter:

  • Be sure to include the correct and full name of the scholarship you were offered in your letter.
  • Check for grammatical and spelling errors - always proofread.
  • Be sure to sign the thank you letter and print your name under your signature.
  • Try to include these topics in your letter:
    • How the scholarship has assisted you in pursuing your education
    • Your program of study at CCBC
    • Why college is important to you
    • Organizations in which you participate
    • Volunteer work
    • Current or future internship participation
    • Your future education and/or career goals
