STEPS TO COMPLETE:

Helpful Hints

The components listed below are recommended by the scholarship committee

  • Completed scholarships are reviewed first so have your scholarship completed before the priority deadline of February 15th (If you miss the deadline still complete the application for scholarships.)
  • A personal statement is needed for most scholarships.  Personal statements are limited to 500 words.  
  • Know your family's income (approximately).
  • Reference letters can be accepted electronically so have your references' email addresses available.  (Recommend references would include but not be limited to teacher, counselor, or administrator at your high school.)
  • Students can receive multiple scholarships from HutchCC so mark all interest areas on the online scholarship application.
  • To improve your chances of being awarded a scholarship it is advised to contact departments and/or activities directly after submitting your scholarship.

Grants

A financial aid grant is money awarded to a student to pay for education expenses. Grants are given by the federal government, state governments, schools and private institutions. Like scholarships, they do not need to be repaid. Grant providers will stipulate whether a grant should be used toward tuition or additional expenses.

  • Federal Pell Grant
  • Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG)

Loans

  • Loan Summary
  • Subsidized Stafford Loans
  • Unsubsidized Stafford Loans
  • Parent Loans (PLUS)

Employment

Federal Work Study and Other On-Campus Employment

Earn money for college expenses by working on campus or in selected nonprofit agencies serving the community.

Through the federally funded work-study program, students may work up to 20 hours per week, while classes are in session, and receive a bi-weekly paycheck (based on an hourly wage) that they can use for educational expenses. Work schedules must not conflict with a student's class schedule.

Eligibility

Federal Work Study is offered to qualifying students who have completed the FAFSA and indicated they are interested in work-study.  Work Study funding is limited and awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis. 

Federal work-study is available to students who have significant financial need and are eligible for federal financial aid. Funding is limited, and availability may change each year depending on how the program is funded and the number of applicants.

Receipt of federal work-study does not guarantee employment

The Human Resources Office also maintains a listing of other on-campus employment opportunities for students who do not qualify for College Work Study.
