Completing one application is all you need to do to apply for all scholarships offered through the CCTC Foundation Scholarship Program. Scholarships are awarded based on funds available, donor specific criteria and Scholarship Committee review. Scholarship funds may not be used for transitional courses or transient students.
The following criteria is required:
- Must have applied to and been accepted to a CCTC program of study
- 2.0 or higher grade point average (GPA)
- Enrolled in at least 6 credit hours
Note: Following notification of a scholarship award, recipient must sign an acceptance letter agreeing to the terms of the scholarship and write an appreciation letter to the scholarship donor. Information regarding submitting the acceptance letter and appreciation letter will be included in the awards notification.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Do I need a username and login?
Yes, this ensures you can return to the application if you do not finish or just access the application later. The acceptance letter and appreciation letter will also be submitted using this portal.
What do I need before filling out the application?
You will need a copy of your unofficial transcript to finish the process. You must also be aware of your status next academic year (full time, part time, expected graduation date). Also, you will need your C# and CCTC email address – you must be enrolled to apply.
Is the Foundation Scholarship Program the same as Central Carolina Scholars?
No, these are two different programs. Both offer ways to pay for college, but the Foundation scholarship program awards to current students based on a variety of criteria.
Can I apply if I received other financial aid?
Yes, as long as the financial aid you received does not fully cover your tuition. CCTC Foundation Scholarships are nonrefundable so any unused dollars will be returned to the CCTC Foundation. You will not be given cash for this award. Curriculum required books and supplies (nursing kits, welding kits, etc.) can be purchased through the CCTC Bookstore. These receipts are to be turned into the college’s Business Office for reimbursement. Receipts from other vendors will be accepted if applicable.
When will I find out if I have been awarded a scholarship?
Applications will close on March 14, 2024 and students will be notified of awards in May 2024.
What do I submit as my grade point average (GPA) if I received my GED?
