The North Carolina Community Foundation is honored to partner with fundholders to administer hundreds of scholarship opportunities across North Carolina.
We currently manage nearly 150 scholarship funds for individuals, families, school systems and organizations in the counties we serve throughout North Carolina. All our scholarship opportunities are made from specific funds with criteria established by the original donor. In 2023, we awarded nearly $1.3 million in scholarships to 309 students from across North Carolina.
The NCCF scholarship application cycle begins each year in late January. Deadlines vary from mid-February to early June. Whether you are applying for a scholarship, have already received one, or are serving as a scholarship administrator, we are committed to providing the tools and information you need to make the process a smooth one for you.
