How to Apply

Scholarships

Each January, our scholarship application opens for our 100+ scholarship opportunities. We also open a select number of scholarships again in August.  All CCS students, including international students, are able to apply. 
 

Scholarships for the 2025-2026 academic year will be open fromJanuary 18 - March 18, 2025!

You can apply to several scholarship opportunities at once using our General Application. This application can also auto-match students to other scholarship opportunities. Many of those opportunities require additional information, and we encourage you to apply for every scholarship you’re eligible for to increase your chances of an award!  Students who apply in January can be notified they are receiving a scholarship for the following academic year as early as May. Students who apply in August can be notified they are receiving a scholarship to be disbursed immediately as early as September. 

Please note: you must be an admitted student to apply.

Emergency aid is available to students who have experienced an unforeseen financial hardship, such as a sudden illness, loss of wages, natural disaster, major accident, pending eviction, death of immediate family member, or the effects of COVID-19. Some applications also help you pay for childcare, buy textbooks, or even purchase a bus pass.

The emergency aid application will open the week prior to the start of each quarter and close the week before finals.
