CC Excellence Scholarship

This merit-based award is designed for incoming freshmen enrolling full-time in a degree program at the institution. Eligible students are evaluated automatically upon admission based on their academic achievements, specifically looking at high school transcripts and standardized test scores. To maintain the award for subsequent years, recipients must remain enrolled full-time, complete a minimum number of credits each academic year, and sustain a designated cumulative grade point average. The funding is designated for the fall and spring semesters and cannot be applied to summer terms. It is combined with other federal and state aid, and the total institutional aid cannot surpass the cost of tuition.
