Scholarships

Feedback

SFCC offers a variety of scholarships based on students’ needs and donor requirements. Scholarships are considered part of SFCC’s financial aid program.  The Financial Aid Office may reduce other aid already approved to prevent giving financial assistance in excess of unmet need.
