A scholarship is a sum of money awarded to a student to be used for educational expenses while attending Union County College. All students are invited to apply. Some scholarships require full-time enrollment, while others are designed for part-time or returning students or students who have specific needs.

Application forms are available from the Financial Aid Offices on the Cranford, Elizabeth, and Plainfield campuses.  Completed application forms and the required recommendations must be forwarded to the Financial Aid Office on the Cranford campus. Students are urged to complete the necessary application form and recommendations well ahead of the specified deadline. In order to be considered for the scholarships that specify the student must demonstrate financial need, scholarship applicants must also complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Scholarship applications and the required recommendations must be submitted to the Financial Aid Office by the specified deadline. The applications are reviewed by the Faculty Scholarship Committee in June and scholarship recipients are notified in July.  

A number of scholarships are available to students at Union County College. These scholarships have been made available from a variety of private and institutional sources. The following is a list of scholarships which are currently available to UCC students.
