More than $6.6 million in scholarships were awarded to SPC students in 2022-23
Each year, SPC awards students millions of dollars in scholarships through the SPC Foundation, corporations, private donors, the State of Florida and the college itself. Scholarships can reward you for academic excellence, talent and achievement in a variety of areas, such as the arts or athletics. Best of all, they don't need to be repaid.
Colleges must include all funding resources, including scholarships, as part of a student's financial aid package. If you receive funds that are not listed on your financial aid awards, you must notify Financial Assistance Services.
