Deadline: Applications for scholarships are accepted on a rolling basis, on a first-come, first served basis. Scholarship applications will be considered on a funding-available basis so we encourage you to get your application in as early as possible.

Want to take a class? Looking to gain new professional skills but need financial aid?

Funding your education is a concern for many students. While our tuition is among the lowest in the region, non-degree students do not qualify for federal financial aid and may not have employer benefits to support professional development. We want to help make learning affordable for everyone.

Whether you are a visiting student enrolled in another institution or non-degree student seeking to take a for-credit class for personal or professional enrichment, we invite you to apply for our Community Scholar scholarship.

Scholarship Requirements: To apply you must fill out the essay addressing the question:

How will the course(s) you plan to take this term empower you in your work, or help you achieve your professional goals? How do you plan to use the knowledge you gain from to pay it forward?

Recipients must successfully complete their course(s) with a grade no lower than a B (3.0). Failure to do so will result in a rescinded award.

Amount Awarded: Scholarships are granted by term. The scholarships usually range from $200-$500 per credit. Several scholarships are awarded each term depending on funds available. Recipients of a community scholarship from a prior term are welcome to reapply for another scholarship in a future term (e.g., if you received a scholarship for Summer classes, you may also apply for a scholarship to take Fall classes).
