You only need to complete one application to be considered for all scholarships offered through the CCTC Foundation Scholarship Program. Scholarships are awarded based on available funding, donor-specific criteria and review by the Scholarship Committee. Scholarship funds may not be used for transitional courses, dual enrollment or transient students. The following criteria are required:
- Must have applied and been accepted into a CCTC program of study
- Minimum 2.0 grade point average (GPA)
- Enrolled in at least 6 credit hours
Note: Following notification of a scholarship award, the recipient must sign an acceptance letter agreeing to the terms of the scholarship and write an appreciation letter to the scholarship donor. Information regarding submitting the acceptance letter and appreciation letter will be included in the awards notification.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Do I need a username and login for the AwardSpring portal?
Yes, this ensures you can return to the application if you do not finish or access the application later. The acceptance letter and appreciation letter will also be submitted using this portal.
What do I need before filling out the application?
The Foundation scholarship application integrates with your CCTC admissions application so it is now easier to complete. You must be enrolled in at least 6 hours at CCTC to apply.
Is the Foundation Scholarship Program the same as Central Carolina Scholars or the Titan Tech Scholarship?
No, these are different programs. All offer ways to pay for college, but the Foundation scholarship program awards to current students through privately donated scholarship funds.
Can I apply if I received other financial aid?
Yes, as long as the financial aid you received does not fully cover your tuition. CCTC Foundation Scholarships are nonrefundable so any unused dollars will be returned to the Foundation. You will not be given cash for this award. Curriculum required books and supplies (nursing kits, welding kits, etc.) can be purchased through the CCTC Campus Store using Foundation scholarship funds.
When will I find out if I have been awarded a scholarship?
Applications will close on April 24, 2026 and students will be notified of awards in May 2026
