One of the first things that comes to mind for students when entering college is, “How will I pay for my education?” Though most students receive funding through financial aid and loans, scholarships are a most-sought-after option by students since they can pay for most, if not all of a student’s education.<\/p>\n
St. Petersburg College’s Foundation has over 200 scholarships that students can automatically apply for. The applications will be filtered through all 200 scholarship opportunities, and automatically matched with qualifying scholarships.<\/p>\n
Students can submit an application any time. If they receive a scholarship, it will be applied to specific semesters, depending on when they apply.<\/p>\n
Not all Foundation scholarships are awarded based on financial need. Students are also awarded scholarships based on academic achievement in specific areas of study and community involvement.<\/p>\n
To apply, students need to be enrolled at SPC, since they need an SPC student e-mail address to apply for Foundation scholarships and then fill out the application. A completed application package includes: the application, answers to the essay questions and one letter of recommendation.<\/p>\n
