Foundation For The Carolinas Scholarships

Foundation For The Carolinas · Regional

A single online application matches Charlotte-region students to whichever of Foundation For The Carolinas' 150+ individually endowed scholarship funds they qualify for. FFTC, the community foundation serving Charlotte and the surrounding Carolinas, has run this portal since its first scholarship fund in 1979 and now manages more than 150 funds spanning pre-K through post-graduate study. Because each fund sets its own home-county, school, GPA, or major requirements, students search the portal to see which specific funds they match; the 2027-2028 cycle runs December 1, 2026 through March 5, 2027.
