Each year, CRC Philanthropy awards scholarships to deserving students who demonstrate dedication, resilience, and commitment to their educational goals. Through the support of generous donors, hundreds of students receive critical financial assistance that helps them stay enrolled, excel academically, and achieve their dreams.
By completing a single online application, CRC students are automatically matched to hundreds of scholarship opportunities for which they qualify, making it easier for them to access the support they need. In addition to scholarships offered through CRC Philanthropy, many students also benefit from awards funded by our community partners, local organizations, and regional foundations that share our belief in the power of education.
Together, these scholarships open doors—empowering students to take more classes, reduce work hours, and focus on achieving their degrees, transfer goals, and future careers. Every scholarship makes a lasting impact on a student’s life and strengthens the fabric of our community.
