Federal Aid in conjunction with Foundation Scholarships

  • Many students that do not qualify for Federal Aid may still qualify for a Foundation scholarship

Using Scholarship Funds

  • Foundation scholarships are for use at ICC — some exceptions are available for Transfer Scholarships
  • In an attempt to help as many students as possible, it is the policy of the Foundation to only award one Foundation scholarship per student
  • Specific amounts of scholarships awards vary depending upon available funds and may be adjusted based on hours of enrollment at the time the scholarship recipient’s student account is credited
  • Foundation scholarships connect with student accounting to keep you from being dropped from classes — any remaining balance is your responsibility
  • Foundation scholarships are divided equally between the Fall and Spring semesters funding direct college costs (Tuition, books and supplies, and academic-related expenses — priority in that order and subject to each scholarship’s allowances)
  • When using Foundation scholarship funds for purchasing books, visit the Scholarship Adviser in the Financial Assistance office first to establish bookstore credit
