Scholarships

INSTITUTIONAL SCHOLARSHIPS

The Southeast Community College scholarship program was established to promote and encourage interest in education for the students planning to enroll, to reduce the student’s financial obligation and to recognize outstanding academic achievement in course work already completed at SCC. Scholarships are considered gift aid and do not require repayment unless the donor has clearly indicated repayment procedures in the scholarship announcement.

OUTSIDE SCHOLARSHIPS

Outside scholarships are provided by organizations outside of Southeast Community College. The student is notified by the organization of their award and it is the responsibility of the student to notify the Financial Aid Office of the scholarship amount.

Specific information regarding the outside scholarship must be provided to the Business Office for proper handling. It may be necessary for the Business Office to bill the organization for receipt of the funds. Upon receipt, the funds will be placed in an account and held until aid is officially paid where it will be credited to the student’s account.
