A new semester at North Florida Community College is right around the corner as students gear up for Summer Term of 2017. Alongside the arrival of a new term comes the opportunity to apply for Summer Scholarships, until the scholarship application deadline on April 28.
The NFCC Foundation awards scholarships each term to eligible students as supplemental funds to help in covering the cost of tuition, books and fees. Individual and organizational scholarships for those planning to enroll in Summer 2017 are available for application until the April 28 deadline.
Restrictions and requirements vary with each scholarship, however basic eligibility for funds is a minimum of a 2.0 GPA.
