Be aware that…
A letter of recommendation from an instructor (optional) can help your application stand out from others.
If you apply for one scholarship and don’t receive that one, you are automatically considered for all other scholarships for which you are eligible.
Scholarship awards look great on resumes. Apply!
Many scholarships are for one academic year. If you receive a scholarship during your first year, you can reapply during your second year at ACC.
There are also numerous scholarships available to students in all areas of study, outside scholarships and scholarships for veterans. HART students seeking scholarships are encouraged to look into these scholarships.
