Statement
Scholarships/Tuition Waivers
It is the policy of the Board of Trustees, with the assistance of the Shawnee Community College Foundation and other charitable or philanthropic organizations or programs, to develop and administer a financial scholarship program to provide support for eligible students. Scholarships provided by Shawnee Community College and/or Foundation are generally merit-based, need-based, and/or further Shawnee Community College’s mission. Scholarships have criteria the students must meet in order to receive/maintain the scholarship.
Students are to refer to the published Shawnee Community College Scholarship Booklet for the current academic year to learn about specific scholarship requirements and application procedures. Students should carefully read and be aware of the requirements to receive/maintain a scholarship. Students can contact the Shawnee Community College Financial Aid Office for more information regarding scholarship opportunities. Scholarships and tuition waivers are subject to change without notice.
