Portland Community College Foundation Scholarships

The Portland Community College Foundation administers hundreds of scholarships for students attending Portland Community College, from certificate seekers to associate-degree students. For the 2027–28 cycle, the application opens November 1, 2026, and closes February 1, 2027. The Foundation brings multiple opportunities together in a common process, so one detailed application may help identify funds that match a student’s background.

Applicants need a MyPCC account and must follow the college’s admission and scholarship-application steps. The college recommends submitting an admission application by January 15 to meet the February 1 scholarship deadline. Eligibility varies by fund: some awards are tied to a major, campus, financial circumstances, or background, and the page says scholarship funds will be available for the 2027–28 academic year.

Submitting an application does not guarantee an award or full coverage of college costs. Read each prompt carefully, keep supporting documents, and check whether FAFSA is required when a fund uses it to assess need. If you are not yet a student, the page explains the admission timing; check with the scholarship team before assuming you can create an application account without starting that process.
