When to Apply
Scholarship applications open on January 16, 2026 and close on March 6, 2026 at 11:59 pm.
Requirements
- In order to apply for scholarships, you must have a Los Rios student ID number.
- All students must have a 2.0 or higher GPA.
- All students must have completed a minimum of six units at Cosumnes River College.
- All students must be enrolled in a minimum of six units at Cosumnes River College.
- A letter of recommendation may be required for some scholarships. Please carefully check the requirements for each scholarship you intend to apply for to anticipate whether it will be required, and allow plenty of lead time when requesting a recommendation be done on your behalf. A faculty member, counselor, or employer are all good options. You may want to talk to them about providing you a recommendation first, and even provide them with an educational resume.
How to Apply
