Scholarships
The scholarships listed below are made available by A Beka Foundation, Inc. You may write to the Scholarship Committee and request a scholarship application or apply online. Students who qualify may receive only one of the scholarships. A limited number of scholarships are available. Please apply early.
Scholarship Qualification Requirements
An applicant must:
- be a residence hall, first-time freshman who is a United States citizen,
- declare a four-year major, and
- sign the Statement of Intent to complete all four consecutive years at PCC.
All scholarship applications for the fall semester must be postmarked by August 1; applications for the spring semester by December 15. Applications received by the College by March 1 are given first consideration. Scholarships will be granted on the basis of student’s qualifications and financial need. When scholarships are awarded, the Scholarship Committee will officially notify each recipient in writing. All scholarship applications will be acknowledged within 30 days.
Students must be in good standing and maintain at least a “C” average at PCC; that is, a 2.00 grade point average each year (not cumulative) in order to receive the benefits of the scholarship. (Exception: Academic Honors Scholarship must maintain a 3.20 grade point average.) Students who forfeit the scholarship because of grade point average will forfeit the benefit for future years. If a student withdraws from the College before completing the school year to which the scholarship is applied, or if a student changes from residence hall to town student status, the full amount of the scholarship for that year and future years is forfeited. Scholarships are credited to the student’s tuition.
A Beka Foundation reserves the right to make changes to the scholarship programs at its discretion.
