Crowley’s Ridge College offers financial assistance to qualifying students through federal, state, private, and institutionally-funded programs. The office of Student Financial Services will make every effort to assist each student in meeting the cost of education through grants, scholarships, employment, and loans. CRC awards financial assistance on the basis of verified financial need or merit and does not unlawfully discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin, religion, sex, disability, or prior military service.
CRC uses the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for determining financial need. The FAFSA can be found at the link below. Applications received late may not receive as much assistance as earlier applications due to depleted resources. Completed applications will be reviewed and an award letter will be sent to the student.
Scholarship amounts are subject to change each year by CRC administration. To view a complete breakdown of 2025-26 scholarships, click here.
ACT scholarships are available to entering Freshmen only and will be available to students for four consecutive years. An ACT scholarship recipient must be a full time student and maintain a 2.5 GPA each semester. If a student falls below the required 2.5 GPA, they will be given one semester of warning before the scholarship is lost.
(Transfers): Any student who would have been eligible for an academic scholarship as an entering Freshman, but chose to attend another school, may be eligible for this scholarship if they have been a full-time student and maintained a 2.5 GPA from the other institution.
