The Piedmont Community College (PCC) Foundation is accepting applications for the current scholarship round. Recipients can use awarded funds to assist with tuition, books, and fees for their Fall semester at the College.
Scholarships ranging from $250 – $1000 are available for students who apply through the online application found at www.piedmontcc.edu/scholarships by the July 15 deadline.
Scholarship criteria varies, however most require a minimum grade point average of 2.5. A portion of the scholarships are based solely on merit while others have a financial need element.
