Now is the time to apply for scholarships for the 2018-19 school year.
The Austin Community College Foundation offers hundreds of scholarships for a variety of majors and circumstances (see below).
Apply early
The deadline for priority consideration is April 1st. Don’t delay — applying early is recommended and you can start your application today.
To be considered, complete the online General Scholarship Application, including an essay. Students may upload letters of recommendation or request recommendation letters electronically. Current ACC students also must upload their ACC transcript.
Students only need to submit one application to be considered for all scholarships. Those who have applied previously should re-submit the form.
For details about applying for scholarships, including application tips and resources, visit the ACC Foundation Scholarships webpage.
“There are over 500 scholarships available for a wide cross section of ACC students,” says Ann Schubert, coordinator of ACC Foundation operations. “Any student in good scholastic standing or starting at ACC should submit a scholarship application.”
Fall scholarship recipients are notified during the summer. Spring semester-only scholarship recipients are notified in November.
In addition to general scholarships, students may find ones that are specific to their major, an activity, or a personal circumstance. Some examples:

I don’t quite understand where I can locate the application or how to find it. Do you need to make an account? Also, some of the scholarships say they’ve ended.

You can find the apply now button at http://www.austincc.edu/scholarships to submit an online application. You will need an ACC EID and password to log in to the system. The majority of scholarships have a priority deadline of April 1st. We will continue to accept applications after this date, but it is best to meet the deadline to increase your chances of being selected for a scholarship.
