AURORA GIVES SCHOLARS

The Aurora Gives Scholars program was created to provide select graduating high school seniors with debt-free access to an Associate Degree from the Community College of Aurora (CCA). The Scholarship will fund the cost of tuition, books and fees through completion of an Associate Degree at CCA, and provide students with a Chromebook, providing they forego federal loans during their enrollment in the program. Award packages will be funded through the CCA Foundation, as well as applicable federal and state financial aid.

This scholarship requires each recipient to: forego application for and receipt of federal or private student loans; maintain a GPA of 2.5; take consecutive semesters; declare a major; complete his/her degree in two years or less; and participate in financial literacy course while enrolled at CCA. Recipients of scholarship are also required to meet with advisors regularly.
