The PCC Financial Aid Office administers scholarships that are provided from funds received from the State of Colorado, the PCC Foundation, corporations, businesses, foundations, individuals, civic organizations, service clubs, and similar organizations. Scholarship awards are based on academic ability; special educational interests; talent; and in some cases, need.
Since each scholarship has identified guidelines for application and selection, the PCC Financial Aid Office maintains individual applications for a variety of scholarships.
For specific scholarships currently available at PCC ask for the monthly listing at the Financial Aid Office or look on the bulletin board just outside the office.
At PCC there are dozens of scholarships available from departments to various foundation scholarships. The scholarships listed below represent the largest PCC scholarships available. The funding is provided by the Colorado General Assembly so you must be a Colorado Resident and meet the individual criteria outlined on the scholarship application. For a complete description of the scholarship you may request an application at the Financial Aid Office.
