Know a student planning for college who needs extra financial support? Central Carolina Community Foundation’s general scholarship application is open now through March 5 giving high school seniors and current college students access to 200+ scholarship opportunities.

Here’s how the process works:

  • Applicants complete an eligibility quiz after creating an account in the scholarship portal.
  • The system then matches students to available scholarships.
  • If an applicant is matched to one or more scholarships, the complete application becomes available to them (applicants only need to fill it out once).
