FINANCIAL AID

Here at Eastern Iowa Community Colleges, we pride ourselves on not only providing an excellent education, but also some great scholarships that help ease the financial burden of college.

That’s why we are very excited to announce two new scholarship opportunities guaranteed to make a BIG difference in the lives of our students.

The Community Development Scholarship and Workforce Development Scholarship go into effect this coming spring session and are exclusively for students attending the majority of their classes at Scott Community College’s Urban Campus.

Based on income, eligible students are those whose family household income is 250 percent or less of the federal poverty level. Don’t worry, we’ll help students determine if they meet that guideline.

The Community Development Scholarship is open to everyone currently residing in Davenport and Rock Island and provides up to $1,000 per semester for qualifying full-time students, $500 for part-time students.

The Workforce Development Scholarship focuses on developing workforce in high demand programs.

It will be awarded to students enrolled in one of the Career Technology or Continuing Education programs offered at the Urban Campus.

Current Eastern Iowa Community Colleges students are eligible for both scholarships. Students must have a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA to qualify.

ELIGIBILITY

To determine if you are eligible for either of these scholarships, all you need to do is apply. The one-page application is easy and is available online at eicc.edu/UCscholarship

For more information, just stop by the student services office in the east building of the Urban Campus or give us a call at 1-888-336-3907.

These scholarships are funded through the Iowa Community Development/Urban Research Park NMTC Scholarship Fund.
