Central Carolina Community Foundation Scholarships (Columbia, SC)

Central Carolina Community Foundation runs a single scholarship portal that automatically matches students to more than 200 individual awards, from funds tied to a specific high school or college to broader need- and merit-based scholarships. The general application opens January 1 and closes March 5 each year, with award notifications sent by late April. Individual fund amounts vary; the foundation pays awards directly to the student's college rather than to the student.

Eligibility

DemographicsServes an 11-county Midlands service area (Calhoun, Clarendon, Fairfield, Kershaw, Lee, Lexington, Newberry, Orangeburg, Richland, Saluda, and Sumter); individual funds may add their own residency, school, or major requirement. No fee to apply.
