Applying for a Scholarship

Deadlines

  • High School deadlines vary! Contact your counselor.
  • FCCF Scholarship deadline: April 1 (no exceptions)
  • Youth Enrichment 7-12 deadlines: Jan. 1, April 1, July 1, & Oct. 1

Forms

All application forms are available from your high school counselors. They also have post-grad applications. In addition, the application forms listed below are available as PDF files, which require Adobe Acrobat Reader, available free online. Please print the file, fill it out by hand or typewriter, and then mail it to us by the indiated deadline.

Completing Your Application

Submit a complete scholarship application, including Recommendation letters, grade transcripts, and answers to all the questions. Send all the information at the same time. FCCF processes hundreds of applications and items that are sent separately risk not finding each other.

Submit the correct number of sets and copies requested. There are many people reviewing your application-even before they get to the meeting, which is why a certain number of copies are required.

Take the time to write a quality essay. Review Committees are not impressed by sloppy essays and misspelled words. Check online or with your counselor for examples of good essay resources.

Further Information

  • Receiving a scholarship award is very competitive. Take the time to complete a quality application. Type whatever you can, using a separate sheet of paper to list activities if needed.
  • Only one-year scholarship awards are granted through FCCF. Some scholarship funds offer students the opportunity to reapply from two to four years, depending on the fund. But all scholarships have to be applied for each year. Again, the deadline is April 1.

Notification of a Scholarship Award

There are hundreds of applications processed and many review committees assembled to review each student's application. Review committees start meeting as soon as possible, from the second week in April until all applications and scholarship funds have been awarded.

Once the committees make their decisions, notification letters and Grant Agreement documents are sent to those students who received a scholarship. By July, every student should have received a letter of regret or a congratulations letter with a Grant Agreement.

Your Next Step

You must mail back two items before your scholarship check is processed and mailed to the college:

  • A signed and dated Grant Agreement
  • College class schedule (upcoming semester)

FCCF must receive both of these documents.

Scholarships funds are for tuition, books and lab fees only.

College Transfers

How to have your scholarship funds moved to another college is outlined on the back of the Grant Agreement. It is your responsibility to talk to your financial aid office and to contact FCCF if you need to transfer. Any scholarship rules and requirements would still apply to the new college.
