Scholarships

Scholarships are a type of financial aid that can help you pay for college. Scholarships don’t have to be paid back.

Thanks to the ACC Foundation, generous donors, and ACC itself, we have many scholarships available. Learn about ACC scholarships and find outside scholarship options as well.

ACC Scholarships

ACC provides nearly $1 million in scholarships every year. We offer a wide range of scholarships to our students and it is possible that you qualify for one or several.

You can see all of the ACC scholarships available through AcademicWorks.
