What if I get a private scholarship from a source outside of PCC?
Updated October 25, 2022
Scholarships from non-PCC agencies are often disbursed based on the donor’s request. This often requires verification of enrollment. Usually outside funds are sent to the college to be posted as a credit to your student account.
You can check your account by? logging into MyPCC and clicking the Paying for College tab. Click financial aid status. and select the appropriate aid year. Your financial aid status should appear. If your scholarship does not appear as a credit, contact the agency that awarded you the scholarship to determine when it will arrive.
If you receive a scholarship from an outside source that comes in the form of a check made out to you, and does not go through PCC, you are obligated to notify the PCC financial aid office that you have received it and the amount of the award. If you receive a scholarship your aid can be reduced, usually in the loan area, to keep you within the limits of your Student Budget.
