Scholarships

Generous individuals, alumni, and businesses in our community partner with the CCC Foundation to create scholarships that make a meaningful difference, honoring someone special, celebrating an achievement, or remembering a loved one through a memorial fund. Each year, the Foundation hosts exciting fundraising events to support student scholarships,
including our signature annual Gala, Designer Bag Bingo, Wine & Jazz, CCC apparel fundraisers, all opportunities to celebrate, connect, and invest in the future of our students.

The CCC Foundation offers a variety of scholarships and awards that become available regularly. Our online CCC Foundation Scholarships application manages all available Foundation scholarships. See "How to Apply" on the college's Scholarships page.

Follow the steps under "Apply for Student Scholarships" on the college's Scholarships page, where you'll access our online CCC Foundation Scholarships application. For further assistance, call (856) 374-4946 or e-mail ksimone@camdencc.edu

CCC Foundation scholarships have review committees comprised of faculty, staff, and academic departments that score recipients' online applications based on the scholarship criteria. For department-based scholarships, recipients are selected through faculty nominations coordinated by a departmental review team.

If selected, scholarship recipients will be notified by email on April 20, 2026. Notifications will be sent to the email address listed in your AwardSpring profile, so please ensure your contact information is up to date.

After recipients have met the scholarship mandatory requirements, scholarship awards will be sent directly to your college institution to be applied toward tuition for the upcoming Fall 2026 and Spring 2027 semesters.

Tuition is the amount of money a college charges for instruction. It covers the cost of your classes and academic programs. Tuition does not include other expenses like books, supplies, housing, or meal plans, which are considered additional costs.

ALL students attending CCC are encouraged to apply for scholarships.
