Westchester Community College Foundation Scholarships
The Westchester Community College Foundation was established in 1969 to meet College and student needs not met by public funds. As part of its mission, the Foundation’s primary objective is to provide scholarships for incoming, continuing, and graduating students. Since 2007, the WCC Foundation has annually awarded scholarships in excess of $1 million to deserving students. Last year, we awarded over $1.6 million in scholarships. Students may apply to the Foundation for scholarship assistance by completing the online application form.
