Scholarships

YOU can make a difference in the life of a Union County College student by establishing a scholarship.

Union County College builds minds and shapes the future of its students. Many deserving students cannot afford the cost of the outstanding education offered at UCC. A scholarship is an opportunity to provide an education that will enhance their futures.

Scholarships can honor or remember family, friends, or organizations. Your financial assistance will help students receive the education necessary to compete in the increasingly sophisticated workplace of the future.

There are two types of scholarships:.

ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIPS: provide scholarship funds from interest earned on principal. An Endowed Scholarship will provide funds in perpetuity and can be established with a minimum gift of $15,000. This amount may be given over time and added to at any time. As the endowment grows, the amount of the scholarship awarded will increase.

ANNUAL SCHOLARSHIPS: are established by direct gifts in the exact amount of the awards. The scholarship is renewed each year with an annual gift from the donor. The minimum gift required for a named annual scholarship is $1,000.
