ARC Foundation Scholarships

The ARC Foundation scholarship program is open for applications only from January through February. Students will be notified in April, and scholarship monies are disbursed in early August for the Fall Semester. Click here to apply for ARC Foundation Scholarships, beginning in January.

The American River College Foundation scholarships are provided by the college, alumni, and private donors, and are awarded on the basis of academic excellence and promise of future achievement. Financial need is a factor for some awards, but not all. Additionally, students who have acquired particular skills may be awarded for their talents.

The Foundation offers more than 200 scholarships, totaling more than $150,000.
