Scholarships are established with gifts from donors to the Robeson Community College Foundation and are either endowed or non-endowed. Endowed scholarships are generated through the investment of permanently held principals so that only the income from the principal is used for scholarship awards. This enables the scholarships to exist perpetually. Non-endowed scholarships are those for which all funds are dispersed as scholarships rather than held as long-term investments. These scholarships are commonly referred to as “annual scholarships.”
Criteria for awarding scholarships are specified by the donor in conjunction with Foundation staff. Foundation scholarships are awarded for the Fall and Spring semesters, subject to the availability of funds. Scholarships are subject to change without notice. Students should contact the Robeson Community College Financial Aid Office for more information.
