Every effort is made to notify applicants of the amount and kind of assistance awarded as soon as possible. Almost all types of aid are based on financial need. No awards are final until applicants are accepted for admission and enrolled by the community college.
Federal and state regulations require that a student be enrolled in courses leading to a degree or certificate in order to be eligible for financial assistance. Therefore, students who are enrolled or who expect to enroll in courses but are not admitted as degree-seeking students generally do not qualify for any federal or state financial assistance.
Programs
The following financial aid programs are most commonly used by community college students. Students should consult a SKCTC financial aid office for additional programs.
Scholarships
Financial assistance is available for academically worthy students. Generally, scholarships at the community colleges are supported by gifts from alumni and friends of the colleges. Consequently, the number of scholarships available at any time depends almost entirely upon the extent of private giving.
Scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic ability and evidence of need for financial assistance. Some scholarships are limited to students enrolled in a particular program, some are limited to the student whose home is in a particular geographic area, others are available to any qualified student.

Each community college has its own scholarship program and its own scholarship committee. The scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis. Information on these scholarships is available from each community college financial aid office.
