Scholarships and Grants
At SFIC, we look after distinguished students who personify what SFIC is all about: excellence, integrity, potential, value, and leadership. Receiving a college acceptance letter is an achievement, and once you’ve gotten your foot in the door, it’s time to start forming a game plan. You have a lot of decisions to make. One of the most crucial considerations to factor into the equation is how to plan to pay for college.
A scholarship is an award of money that is provided for a student to support their pursuit of a college degree. If you get a scholarship, you can put it toward the cost of your tuition, potentially making your education more affordable. Typically, you’ll need to identify a scholarship you qualify for and apply to be considered. While it takes time, it is one of the best ways you can fund your education because it is money you do not have to repay. SFIC has a series of institutional programs available to students who qualify based on financial needs and academic achievement, excellent work experience and for minority groups. SFCI maintains a full-time staff to help meet your needs.
You’re encouraged to make an appointment with SFIC to ensure that you obtain the funding needed for your educational investment.
