The Scholars Program provides two-year tuition scholarships of varying amounts to selected community college students who demonstrate excellent academic ability. This award is based entirely on merit and does not prohibit application for need-based financial aid.
Scholarships are awarded for the fall 2010 semester and you must submit applications for admission and the Scholars Program. The Scholars Program application is available online beginning in December 2009. Recipients are selected in late June and notified by mail.
