Wilson Community College is a comprehensive community college and a proud member of the North Carolina Community College System. The College has an open-door policy, which means that students are assisted in selecting programs that serve their needs and objectives in life, consistent with their background, skills, and expressed interests. Some programs have additional admissions requirements.

Wilson Community College reserves the right to refuse enrollment in distance learning courses to any applicant who is not a North Carolina resident, if that applicant resides in a state where the College is not authorized to provide distance learning courses.

Wilson Community College is gearing up for registration again, and we have options for anyone who wants to improve their skills, earn a degree, or learn to do something new. Maybe there hasn’t been an opportunity to attend college, and now you’re ready to take that first step. You don’t have to wait. Or maybe you’re already attending another college, but want to take classes online at WCC to get ahead. You may work full-time, but want to go back to school and retrain for a career change. Regardless of your motivations, it’s never too late or too early to begin a new journey at Wilson Community College. So, if you’ve been wondering what WCC has to offer, why not start now?

We encourage students to complete the admissions and enrollment process with plenty of time to avoid the stress and anxiety that can come with late registration. This is particularly important for students applying for Federal Financial Aid (Pell Grant) because multiple steps are necessary to complete the process and receive an award in time for the start of the term.

So, whether you are a current student, a new, firsttime student, or you’re coming from another college or university, we are here to help you navigate the admissions and registration process. We offer convenient online tuition and fee payment options, and financial aid is available for eligible students.

The Wilson Community College Foundation was organized in 1981 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. The Foundation’s mission is to promote the general welfare of the College by seeking support through the solicitation of gifts and bequests. The Foundation exists to ensure that the College is able to provide a quality education at an affordable cost and to reduce the financial barriers to higher education. They accomplish this by awarding scholarships and tuition assistance to students, promoting program awareness and community engagement, as well as providing professional development to support faculty/staff development and career advancement.

Types of Scholarships Awarded

Unrestricted Funds: Donors who give an unrestricted gift enable versatility into their charitable giving. These resources are most useful to Wilson Community College from an ongoing basis in response to changing needs and opportunities. Donors entrust the Board of Directors to select the most appropriate allocations.

Restricted Funds: A gift may be restricted for a program of study (curriculum or continuing education), library and classroom resources, faculty and staff development, lecture series, opportunities in the arts, innovative grant possibilities, and more.

Scholarship Funds: Scholarship funds assist individuals pursuing educational goals and recognize individual excellence. Donors may specify the criteria for scholarship awards.

Endowment Funds: Choosing to endow your gift with the Wilson Community College Foundation ensures ongoing annual support in perpetuity. This is made possible through income generated annually from your investment of $10,000 or greater. The minimum donation of $10,000 to establish an endowed fund may be paid in one lump sum or over a period of three years.

To set up a scholarship or a planned gift, contact the Foundation at (252) 246-1271 or (252) 246-1452, or visit www.wilsoncc.edu/foundation-home for more information.
