Scholarships for Full-Time Students

Scholarships are established with gifts from donors to the Foundation and are either endowed or non-endowed. Endowed scholarships are generated through the investment of permanently-held principals so that the only the income from the principal is used for scholarship awards. This enables the scholarship to exist in perpetuity. Non-endowed scholarships are those for which all funds are dispersed as scholarships rather than as long-term investments. These scholarships are commonly referred to as "pass-through" or "annual" scholarships.

Criteria for awarding the scholarships are specified by the donor in conjunction with Foundation staff. The college Financial Aid Office administers the awarding of scholarships to CFCC students. Scholarships are subject to change without notice. Students should contact the Financial Aid Office for applications, forms and specific information regarding scholarships. Please see the Financial Aid page for additional information.

Foundation Student Ambassador Program

During the spring semester each year, Student Ambassadors are selected to represent the College and the Foundation at a variety of college-sponsored events. Examples of these events include student registration and orientation, donor recognition events and graduation.

Student Ambassadors must have an outgoing personality, a professional appearance, and high academic achievement. In addition, nominees will be screened for strong oral and written communication skills (public speaking), knowledge of the college and community, ability to make a positive impression, scheduling flexibility, access to transportation, and high level of commitment to CFCC. Ambassadors must maintain full-time status and perform 2-5 hours required volunteer service work per week.

Those selected in the spring serve as Student Ambassadors during the upcoming academic year. Candidates for the Student Ambassador position complete the required application and are required to support the application with three letters of recommendation from faculty and staff of the college.

The Foundation solicits the help of faculty and staff in notifying students of the availability of Student Ambassador positions and in encouraging students to apply for the honor. The college pays for the tuition, fees and books for the semesters in which they serve in this role and provides official items of clothing as well.

A committee appointed by the Executive Director of the Foundation interviews the candidates for ambassador and recommends candidates to the Executive Director for selection. Extensive training for new ambassadors is held during the summer.
