Watch: How to Apply Video Guide
- Review the following scholarship application materials:
- Many scholarships are “need based” and require completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Visit our Financial Aid page for more information.
- Complete your scholarship application at https://joliet.awardspring.com.
- After you apply, continue to check your scholarship dashboard at AwardSpring to see if you were awarded a scholarship.
All students are welcome to apply for each scholarship administered by the Foundation. Students will be given equal consideration for all scholarships without regard to race, ethnicity, sex, gender, or any other protected characteristic. If any scholarship includes a restriction or preference based on a protected characteristic, that restriction or preference addresses a legitimate affirmative action goal and has been reviewed as compliant with Title IX under 34 C.F.R. § 106.3(b). Nevertheless, all individuals, without regard to the restriction or preference, may submit an application and qualify for consideration for the award of the scholarship by demonstrating how the applicant advocates for and advances the underlying purpose of the scholarship, and how the candidate has supported equal opportunity and diversity with respect to the educational opportunity. For consideration or further information, please contact Amanda Quinn at aquinn@jjc.edu.
