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.

Emergency funds are not awarded during the summer semester without a recommendation from a faculty member or a Success Coach.
