Application for SCC Scholarships

Scholarships are gifts that do not require repayment. They can be awarded based on various criteria such as academics, your hometown, gender, ethnicity or program of study. Some scholarships are renewable from year to year.

All academic scholarships are administered through the Spartanburg Community College Foundation and the SCC Financial Aid Office. Recipients are selected by the Spartanburg Community College Scholarship Committee (except in the case where an established set of guidelines provide for a special selection committee). To apply, fill and submit the following form.

SCC Foundation Scholarships

Funded through the SCC Foundation, the scholarship application form is available on this page January 2 - April 15 each year. You may obtain a paper application from the financial aid office.

Community Scholarships

These scholarships are awarded from organizations outside of Spartanburg Community College and have separate applications. If awarded, these scholarships are administered through SCC's Business Office.
