💬 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • When you submit your application, you’re automatically considered for all scholarships offered by the Foundation. Our system matches you to eligible opportunities based on your responses—so there’s no need to select just one!

Who is eligible for scholarships?

To apply for a Bergen Community College Foundation scholarship, you must:

  • Be enrolled in a degree program at Bergen Community College

  • Typically have completed at least 6 credits at the College

I receive/don’t receive financial aid. Can I still apply?

Yes!
Most scholarships are need-based, but some are merit-based. International students are also eligible for many Foundation scholarships.

How is financial need evaluated?

We work with the Bergen Financial Aid Office to determine financial need.

Why didn’t I receive a scholarship?

Scholarships are competitive and not guaranteed.
All applications and essays are reviewed, and awards are based on how well students meet the scholarship criteria. When several applicants qualify equally, recipients may be selected at random.
