Scholarships
Greene County Career Center students will have the opportunity to be nominated for certain lab-based, financial need based, and academic achievement scholarships. These scholarships are funded by partners of GCCC and may vary in amounts and availability will be determined on a year to year basis.
Students graduating from Greene County Career Center who have registered as a Tech Prep student, maintain a 2.25 GPA, and wish to continue to college are eligible to receive a non-competitive $3000 scholarship to attend Sinclair College and/or Clark State College post-graduation. This scholarship must be used within one year of graduation.
Students are encouraged to check with their home school guidance department for additional scholarship opportunities.
