Grants


Grants Available at SCF

Grants are awarded by federal, state and institutional sources and do not have to be paid back. Grants are based on financial need and require that you complete a FAFSA. Applications submitted by May 1 are given priority consideration for many types of aid.

How to Apply

The first step in applying for any financial aid at SCF, including grants, loans, scholarships and student employment, is to complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid).

Financial aid services will verify your eligibility based on the information submitted on your FAFSA.
