Scholarship applications for the 2017-18 academic year at St. Charles Community College are now available. Students who complete the application will be eligible for both SCC Foundation and Board of Trustee scholarships, based on specific award criteria. More than $175,000 in Foundation and Board of Trustee scholarships will be awarded for the upcoming academic year.

“There are several different types of scholarships available at SCC, so we really encourage students to take the time to apply,” said Betsy Schneider, SCC director of development. “Receiving a scholarship can help students to succeed in reaching their goals, or can make college a reality for someone who may not otherwise be able to afford it.”

Application packets can be found at stchas.edu/scholarships. Packets are due by 4:30 p.m. Thursday, March 1, 2017, to Enrollment Services in ADM 1113.
