Message from Our CCMR Specialist
The scholarship list will be updated periodically to include new scholarships as they open, so check back often! Please remember that your best shot at getting accepted and/or receiving the maximum amount of financial aid is to APPLY EARLY.
The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) opens in December of this year, more information on that will be coming soon. If you have any questions about the college application process or scholarships please request to see me in the counseling center.
