Financial Aid - Scholarships

Santa Fe Community College offers tuition and fee scholarships that are based on a variety of factors or criteria specified by the donor. Scholarships are considered part of SFCC's financial aid program and awards; therefore, the Financial Aid Office may reduce other aid already approved to prevent giving financial assistance in excess of unmet need (over-awarding) if a scholarship is awarded.

The scholarship deadline for the 2009-10 award year has passed. We will only be able to award a scholarship if additional funds are available.

The Scholarship Application has many types of scholarships available based on the required criteria for each type of scholarship. Please mark the scholarship for which you are interested in applying. Please check the deadline dates to avoid submitting your application late.
Applications submitted after the deadline date may be considered for a possible second round of evaluations if funds are available. Check with the Financial Aid Office for further information.
