External Opportunities

CCC students are also encouraged to seek out and apply for external scholarship opportunities. Please note we do our best to screen the opportunities on this page to ensure they align with CCC students. However, the actual disbursement and administration of the scholarships on this page will come from a third party. Wherever possible, we will include the direct contact information for the external opportunity within the scholarship description.
