## About this scholarship

Aiken Technical College administers the Human and Civil Rights Community Champion Award to honor local individuals who actively contribute to the well-being of the Aiken area. This program is designed for community members who demonstrate a commitment to protecting human and civil rights, participating in local service organizations, building partnerships with local schools, or promoting community unity. Because this is a community recognition award rather than a traditional, need-based student scholarship, it does not require applicants to submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or any state financial aid applications. Instead, the selection process relies on a nomination system to identify qualified leaders in the region. The award recognizes those who foster collaboration and advance civic engagement throughout the county. Nominations for this community honor must be submitted by the Dec. 1 deadline to be considered for the upcoming cycle.

## Who can apply

- Nominees must be community members making a difference in the Aiken area who protect human and civil rights, participate in local service organizations, build partnerships with local schools, or promote community unity.
