What are internal scholarships?\u00a0<\/h4>\n

Thanks to our ºì¶¹ÊÓƵ donors, ºì¶¹ÊÓƵ Foundation provides scholarships to students every semester based on academic merit, financial need, program of study, and\/or student year. Each semester an email is sent out for QC internal scholarships, providing access to the ºì¶¹ÊÓƵ Academic Works portal in which students can apply to the scholarships. The list provided on the scholarships page are all scholarships that the college has access to, but some scholarships are not necessarily open. In the portal, you will have access to a general application for the scholarship. The general application allows you to apply to most scholarships, and at the end of the application there will be a short list of additional scholarships that have supplemental questions that are required to be answered.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Spring Scholarship Cycle: Mid to late January through Mid March
Fall Scholarship Cycle: Mid to late August through Mid October<\/p>\n

5Can I apply after the deadline closes?<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n

You cannot apply once the deadline has passed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do I need to apply every semester?<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n

Yes. Each semester is a new scholarship cycle, and we recommend applying every semester that you\u2019re a continuing student.<\/span><\/p>\n

Can I apply if I received a scholarship in a prior semester?<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n

Yes, you can apply again for the next semester.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Can I apply before I start at ºì¶¹ÊÓƵ?<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n

You need to be a matriculated student with a ºì¶¹ÊÓƵ email account to be able to create an account to apply.<\/span><\/p>\n

What term will the scholarship be applied to?<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n

Scholarships will be awarded for the term after you apply. If you apply in Spring 2025, the scholarship will be awarded for Fall 2025. Each semester, there will be a handful of same semester awards with an earlier application deadline.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Do you have any tips for the application?<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n
    \n
  1. Take your time with the essay responses. Have a friend, mentor or QC staff peer review.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Look at all of the additional applications to see if you qualify for those outside of the general pool.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. List a professional or academic reference if you have one. Make sure to email them first.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. If you\u2019ve done community service, make sure to add that in the application.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
