Apply for Scholarships

Scholarship Applications Are Currently Closed

Scholarships are provided through the Rowan-Cabarrus Foundation and the generosity of many individuals, organizations, and businesses within our region. A scholarship review team determines the recipient for those scholarships awarded by the College. Students who are on academic or financial aid suspension are ineligible for scholarships.

The scholarship program consists of two kinds of awards: merit-based scholarships and need-based scholarships. Scholarships are also awarded on a competitive basis applying the following criteria: academic excellence, achievement, leadership qualities, need or other criteria stipulated by contributors.

Awards are usually restricted to tuition assistance and require the recipient to maintain a minimum GPA to continue the scholarship. Awarded funds not used during the academic year are returned to the scholarship and do not carry over from year to year. Students must re-submit a scholarship application every year.

Scholarship portal is closed for 2025-2026. Please check back on February 1 when the portal will open for 2026-2027.
