Pelican First-Generation Scholarship

The Pelican First-Generation Scholarship is a financial aid program offered by Allan Hancock College. This scholarship is specifically designed to support students who are the first in their families to attend college. To qualify for the funding, applicants must meet the first-generation college student eligibility criteria. The program helps cover educational expenses associated with attending Allan Hancock College, reducing the financial barriers often faced by students who do not have a family history of higher education. To be considered for this opportunity, students must submit their application by the deadline of January 15, 2027. While the scholarship process is managed through the college, applicants are generally encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the California Dream Act Application to establish their overall financial need and coordinate this award with other state or federal aid packages.
