Student Scholarships at ACC

A variety of scholarships are available from private and public sources. Scholarship selection criteria may be based on demonstrated financial need, academic merit, college major, or other specific qualifications. The funding organization determines the scholarship amount, criteria, and deadlines for application. 

To apply for scholarships specific to ACC, you must first be accepted as an ACC student.  If you are new to ACC and not accepted to yet, please complete the Apply Texas Application.

In Academic Works at ACC you will find three types of scholarships.

  • ACC Departmental Scholarships - These scholarships are specific to your major and/or classes you are taking.
  • ACC Foundation Scholarships - Many donors set up scholarships and endowments through the ACC Foundation.  These scholarships vary based on the wishes of the donors.  Some may be only for graduating seniors going to ACC.  Some may only be for students who are already full-time at ACC.  There are many different kinds, and  each has different requirements within the scholarship.
  • Donor Scholarships - These are mostly scholarships offered by other local non-profit groups or partner organizations that we have chosen to add to the portal for your convenience.
