Scholarships

We partner with donors to administer scholarships for students across the state. Most NCCF scholarships opened for applications on Dec. 16, 2025, and closed on March 3, 2026.

All NCCF scholarship opportunities are established with criteria determined by the donor. In 2025, we awarded over $3 million in scholarships to over 500 students, including $1.3 million to 110 students in western NC through our Disaster Relief and Resilience Scholarship.
