Scholarships

A scholarship is a financial aid award that does not need to be repaid. Broward College offers scholarships based on merit, financial need, degree choice, and more. Scholarship funding is limited and matching does not guarantee an award.

Many of these are direct awards, meaning you’re automatically considered based on your profile!

To be considered for a scholarship you must:

  1. Submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and required documents. (International students are not required to complete the FAFSA)
  2. Be admitted to the College in a degree or eligible certificate program
  3. Be enrolled in a minimum of six (6) credits
  4. Have a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA

You are encouraged to log in to your myBC account and answer qualifying questions to be matched to additional scholarship opportunities.

All communication regarding scholarship awards will be through your BC email.

THE 2025-2026 SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION IS STILL OPEN!

2026-2027 Scholarships are now open in Scholarship Universe!
Log in to myBC and search for the Fall 2026 Scholarships card to get matched with relevant scholarships.

Additional Scholarship Information

This applies to ALL checks, including those you may receive as a result of a scholarship award posted to your account. Do not send any checks to the Financial Aid Office, as the Financial Aid Office does not process checks. Doing so will cause a delay in posting your scholarship award. You must be currently enrolled at Broward College or the Cashier's Office will not accept the check. Please refer to the 'How to Pay' tab on the Cashier page for more information on this process.

Broward College is required by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to determine the tax status of all students receiving payments from the college. Student payments may include financial aid grants, scholarships, prize monies, etc.
  • Upon determination of tax status, the college may be required to report and/or withhold federal income tax from a payment. 
  • Refer to IRS Publication 970 for Scholarships, Fellowship Grants, Grants, and Tuition Reductions regulations.
