Scholarships

Corning Community College offers more than 40 scholarships to help you pay for your education. For your convenience, we have one Common Scholarship Application that covers most of our scholarships. Only one application is required per applicant, and you will be considered for all scholarships for which you qualify. Availability for all scholarships is dependent upon funding for current-year distribution and can fluctuate on an annual basis.

Applications for the 2013-2014 academic year are due April 1, 2013.
Please review the information below before beginning your application.

Scholarship Application Requirements:

  • The 2013-14 CCC Scholarship Application must be completed and submitted all at one time. You will not be able to fill out the form partially and complete it later. Please have all materials prepared ahead of time.
  • At least one letter of recommendation is required. Letters should be from individuals (other than relatives) who are familiar with you and your goals to further your education. The scholarship application will ask that you identify the names of individuals who will submit a letter on your behalf.

Materials should be mailed to: CCC Student Administrative Services, Scholarship Committee, 1 Academic Dr., Corning, NY 14830.
  • An essay is required (250-word minimum). Tell us how CCC will help you achieve your educational and career goals. How do you demonstrate your strong character, and what inspires you to strive for excellence? How do you plan to contribute to CCC's learning community (e.g. through your participation in the classroom, events, leadership, clubs, sports, etc.)?
  • To be considered for scholarships with criteria based on financial need, you must submit your FAFSA by April 1, 2013.
  • Incomplete applications or materials received after the deadline will not be reviewed (this includes Letters of Recommendation and FAFSA).
  • Scholarship awards are distributed in two equal installments (fall and spring). In order to receive the second distribution, you must return for the spring semester, maintain appropriate enrollment status, and remain in good academic standing.
