Create a Scholarship

The Foundation has awarded more than $1.2 million in scholarships since 2008 to thousands of deserving students. Still, applicants consistently outnumber available awards. Through the generosity of supporters, Carteret CC can extend scholarship opportunities to more students.

An endowed scholarship is perpetual; the principle remains intact and only the interest is awarded. The scholarships may be “restricted” to a specific program or “unrestricted” for any course of study at Carteret CC.

There is a naming opportunity associated with an endowed scholarship with a minimum amount of $20,000. After the endowment level is reached, the scholarships are awarded annually carrying the name of the company or individual. Additional gifts can continue to be contributed to the endowment, which enables additional scholarships to be awarded.
