Piedmont Community College (PCC) is accepting scholarship applications for the Summer and Fall 2022 semesters. The application process begins March 1 and will continue through April 25. More than 100 scholarships are available for students looking for workforce/short-term training and curriculum-based learning.

“Our community is blessed with wonderful donors and programs designed to make earning an education more attainable,” Beth Townsend, PCC Vice President of Advancement and Communications said. “The available scholarships vary in criteria. Some are based on financial needs while others focus on merit. Everyone has an opportunity to be selected; all it takes is a completed application to get started.”
Some scholarships, such as the Pacer Promise and the Longleaf Commitment Grant, may require students to first complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Assistance to complete the application is available in person and virtually with PCC’s Financial Aid Team. Call (336) 599-1181 to schedule an appointment.
