Scholarships
Scholarships are available to help you pay for college and may be awarded to recognize academic or other achievements.
To be eligible for institutional scholarships you must have completed high school or have a GED and you must be working on a degree, diploma, or certificate program. Institutional scholarships are guaranteed if your application is received by March 1. Applications must submitted each year.
