What kinds of scholarships are offered at ACC?

The ACC Foundation awards hundreds of scholarships each year. There are many different types of scholarships and the eligibility criteria varies for each. Students can view all of the scholarships offered as well as the criteria for each by going to the ACC Foundation website.

How do I apply for an ACC Foundation scholarship?

To apply for an ACC Foundation scholarship, you are encouraged to submit the online ACC General Scholarship Application. There is also a paper version of the application available. Regardless of the format you choose, only ONE application should be submitted per award period for which the student is applying.

When should I apply?

The majority of ACC Foundation scholarships are awarded each summer for the following fall/spring academic year. There are also a very limited number of spring-only and summer-only scholarships. The ACC Foundation website will have the most current information regarding which scholarships will be awarded as well as the deadline for submitting the application.

In general, the fall/spring ACC General Scholarship Application is due by June 1 each year (April 1 for high school students applying for the College Connection Scholarship).

Where do I submit the additional documentation that goes with my application?

Some scholarships may require supplemental documentation such as letters of reference, unofficial high school transcripts (for current high school seniors) or copies of non-ACC college transcripts. Supplemental documentation for scholarship applications may be submitted to any ACC Financial Aid Office or sent to:
