DCC Educational Foundation scholarships make a positive impact on the lives of many DCC students. Although DCC’s tuition is far less expensive than tuition rates of four-year institutions, an increasing number of students cannot afford the cost of higher education.

State and federal funds are available to eligible students; however, there are always deserving students who have excelled academically for whom no assistance can be found. A scholarship sends a strong message to students that someone believes in them and is ready to invest in their futures.

On average, approximately 300 scholarships totaling $500,000 in financial assistance are awarded to DCC students through the generosity of the College’s supporters.  Danville Community College’s Educational Foundation also awards scholarships to students graduating from DCC who are transferring to four-year institutions.
