Scholarships

The Gainesville State College Foundation provides numerous scholarships to assist our students in reaching their goals.  Students MUST first complete the FAFSA before the actual amount of their Foundation Scholarship can be determined. 

To apply for any non-merit GSC Foundation Scholarship please submit the GSC Foundation Scholarship application.  The Gainesville State College Foundation Scholarship application will be sent to all new and existing GSC student email accounts beginning June 1st.  If you did not receive a Foundation Scholarship application form please send an email from your student email account to: jlord@gsc.edu and an application will be sent to you.

Merit scholarships in various fields of study are awarded in April each year. Monitor the GSC Notice Board for announcements or contact your Academic School in February and March for further information.
