Scholarships

The North Carolina Community Foundation partners with donors to administer nearly 150 scholarship funds for the benefit of students across the state.

All of our scholarship opportunities are established through specific funds established at NCCF with criteria determined by the donor. In 2023, we awarded nearly $1.3 million in scholarships to over 300 students.

Most NCCF scholarships will open for 2024 applications on Jan. 16 and close on March 15.

Whether you are applying for a scholarship, serving as a scholarship administrator or are the recipient of a scholarship, we are committed to providing the tools and information you need to make the process a smooth one for you.
