We can help
The Cecil College Foundation, Inc. raises funds in support of student programs and activities at CCC. Each year, as one benefit of its annual fundraising efforts, the Foundation offers financial support to Cecil College students through existing scholarship funds that have been established over the years by generous supporters of the College. Grants range in size from a few hundred dollars, to what amounts to full tuition and fees for one semester.

What types of scholarships are available? There are two types of scholarships available for CCC students through the CCC Foundation: merit-based and need-based. Merit-based scholarships are awarded on the basis of Grade Point Average (GPA) and NOT on a student's ability to pay for their education. Most merit-based scholarships require a GPA of 3.0 or better. Need-based scholarships are awarded on the basis of a student's need for financial assistance in order to attend Cecil College. To obtain one of these grants, students must complete and submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form available in the Student Development office.

How do I apply for Foundation Scholarships? Our scholarship application process begins at the beginning of each spring semester. Applications must be completed on-line, through the CCC Foundation’s website between January 1 – April 30 each year for consideration for fall and spring scholarship support. Applications submitted after April 30th will not be considered. In order for applications to be successfully submitted electronically, students must have a CCC student ID. Students interested in applying for a CCC Foundation scholarship should apply on-line. Apply On-line

When/How will I be notified of scholarship selections? Scholarship selections will be made mid-May with notifications of financial support sent out to students by June 1st. Students receiving a scholarship will sign an agreement and be asked to visit the Foundation office to review the agreement and conditions of the scholarship.

When are financial awards allocated to students? Scholarships are awarded in May for the fall and spring semesters. Reallocations are made in January, providing the recipient continues to meet the specific scholarship criteria, i.e. GPA, minimum credit enrollment, etc.
