If you are a current or future DCCCD student, you may be eligible for one of the approximately 250 scholarships offered through the DCCCD Foundation. Several of the scholarships are awarded to more than just one person. Thus, about 3,500 deserving students receive Foundation scholarships each year!

Our scholarships vary based on academic excellence, financial need, achievement, leadership or a specific program’s requirements. With financial awards available to help you pay for your education, you can concentrate on what’s really important — learning for your future.

You can learn more about our most popular scholarships — the Erin Tierney Kramp Encouragement Award and the R. Jan LeCroy Scholars Program — on this page.

Information about and applications for all DCCCD scholarships can be found on the Foundation website. You can also check out our Featured Scholarships page to find out about scholarships that may be of special interest to you or with upcoming application deadlines.
