I am excited to let you know that Enterprise State Community College is taking our scholarship application process online! This year your graduating seniors will be able to apply for ESCC scholarships online at www.escc.edu effective January 1, 2015. The link to our scholarship application will be prominently displayed in the upper right corner of our home page, and we hope that your students will find this process easier to navigate than our old paper-based process.

Enterprise State Community College and the ESCC Foundation offer a rich variety of scholarship opportunities to outstanding students. Scholarships are awarded for academic performance, technical promise, career interests, and for participation in the fine arts, athletics, and leadership activities.
The scholarship application process at ESCC is competitive. Successful applicants must submit a complete scholarship application packet before the processing deadline, which is March 1. Applicants are urged to complete their application packets at least one week before the March 1 deadline to avoid last minute processing problems. Late or incomplete applications will not be considered for the first round of awards. A complete application packet consists of the following items:

 ESCC Application for Admission (completed online at https://grace.escc.edu/cgi-bin/admonline.mbr/login).

 ESCC Scholarship Application (completed online at www.escc.edu). All required items must be completed or the application cannot be submitted.

 The student’s EFC (Expected Family Contribution) from www.fafsa.gov. ESCC’s Federal School Code for the FAFSA is 001015. Contact ESCC Financial Aid at 334.347.2623 extension 2214 or financialaid@escc.edu with questions about the FAFSA.
