Scholarship workshops and resources

High school students

Are you graduating from high school this year? A scholarship application cycle for recent high school grads will be open May 1-15, 2024. High school students are encouraged to prepare their two required essays and line up their (optional) letter of reference ahead of the application cycle. This means you can apply when the application opens and it will give your reference provider plenty of time to submit by the deadline. The link to apply for PCC Foundation scholarships will be posted here on May 1.

  • April 22 – May 15: virtual scholarship workshops and help sessions: see dates and times below
  • April 17: deadline to apply for admission to PCC to make sure your account will be ready for the May cycle
  • May 1 – 15: PCC Foundation scholarship application for incoming high school students is open!

PCC Foundation scholarship workshops provide information about the online application process and what elements help create a competitive scholarship application. The changes to the FAFSA will not impact your ability to submit your scholarship application. As long as you have submitted the FAFSA by the end of February, this will not delay our review of applications and awarding processes. If you have further questions, email scholarships@pcc.edu.
