Scholarships & Grants
CCA Foundation Scholarship Application Period is Now Open!
You only need to fill out one application to be considered for all CCA Foundation scholarships.
Has the COVID-19 pandemic impacted your job or earnings?
If so, you may be eligible for a up to $500 scholarship per term from the Community College of Aurora. CCA has developed the COSI Career Connections Scholarship to help you retool your skills, earn a new credential, and advance in one of the top career fields in Colorado.
Scholarships are a great way to help you pay for college! Last year alone, CCA Foundation awarded over $500,000 in scholarships to students. You could be like Nereida Arroyo-Ramirez, who had the cost of her entire education at CCA covered by scholarships and grants. Read Nereida's story.
