Every year millions of dollars in college scholarships and grants go unclaimed because
- students don't know about them, or
- students don't take the time to apply
This spring, DCCCD is working to change those statistics with
myScholarships, a new online scholarship application system.
Here's how it works:
- You fill out one simple (and secure) scholarship application online. This application has 10 questions and takes a few short minutes.
- Next, you are then automatically considered for multiple financial awards, including scholarships based on academic excellence, financial need, leadership and achievement, to name a few.
Currently over $700,000 is up for grabs among DCCCD students. That's a lot of money for books and tuition!
Visit
foundation.dcccd.edu/scholarships to apply for Fall 2016 scholarship money.
The deadline is June 1, 2016.
Insider tip: Answer the additional supplemental questions to check your eligibility for additional scholarships. Also, check out keyword search to explore the hundreds of scholarships available in the system. Remember, a dollar saved is a dollar earned!
