Scholarships

Through the philanthropic generosity of area industries, businesses, professional organizations, civic clubs, and individuals, the Halifax Community College Foundation Inc. provides scholarships to qualified applicants. A committee and detailed review process determines award recipients.

The scholarship program consists of two types of awards: merit-based and need-based. Scholarships are also awarded on a competitive basis applying the following criteria: academic excellence, achievement, leadership qualities, need, or other criteria as stipulated by donors.

Award stipulations require that recipients maintain a minimum grade point average and most require full-time enrollment status. Each scholarship is awarded for one academic year beginning with the fall semester. Recipients must remain in compliance with all college requirements to receive any scholarship for the entire year.

Students must reapply each year by the published deadline. Applications received after the deadline will not be considered. Incomplete applications will not be considered.

Students are encouraged to apply early. Applications and deadlines are available on HCC’s website at www.halifaxcc.edu.
