College Grants And Scholarships

If you are attending a community college and you have an interest in transferring to a four year college or universities, then you are eligible to receive a college grant.  What is a college grant?  A college grant is money you get to help you pay the many costs you may endure while in college.  The best part, this is money you do not have to pay back.  College grants are similar to scholarships in that they are awards you get in the form of money that is given to you without any ties or responsibilities.  Each college scholarship and grant has its own stipulations in terms of holding a certain GPA, have completed a certain amount of units, etc.

College Grants and Scholarships

I want to highlight a fantastic opportunity to get a college grant by introducing you to the $30,000 Jack Kent Cooke Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship designated specifically for community college students.  The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation’s Scholarship makes it possible for the country’s top community college students to complete their bachelor’s degrees by transferring to a four-year college or university. This college grant is in the amount of up to $30,000 per year to each student recipient.  There are about 50 students selected each year making it the largest private scholarship for community college transfer students.

Each grant is intended to cover a significant portion of the student’s educational costs; including tuition, rent, food, bills, books and required fees.  Scholarships vary by individual, based on the cost of tuition as well as other grants or scholarships you may be receiving.

The deadline for a student to apply to the scholarship is every January.  Although this year’s deadline has passed, be sure to check in with your financial aid office for more information as the deadline approaches next year.  Additional information about the college grant can be found at College Grant.

This is only one opportunity to apply for a college scholarship.  Be sure to check back with us often as we will let you know of others as the year progresses.

College Help:  “Many people don’t get a scholarship because they don’t bother applying.  You would be surprised at how many scholarships go unclaimed!”

    College Help: That last comment is exactly write. Current reports have shown that millions of grant dollars for college are going unused. The money is out there, students need to apply and visit their local campus financial aid office. Don’t disqualify yourself from financial aid before you really learn what is available for you. To learn more about financial aid available at the California Community Colleges
