• Other Scholarships
  Scholarship funds are also available through community groups, organizations, and companies outside of the College. The financial aid office receives information periodically about available scholarships in the community. Check with a campus financial aid office for the latest available information.
  
  Other sources of information on scholarships and financial aid are available at each campus library and the public libraries. Ask the librarians for assistance in finding these references. Or find online financial aid resources on the web.

NOTE: If you should receive scholarship money from outside the College, you must notify a Pima financial aid office if you receive scholarship funds directly.

NOTE: Every year there are a few scholarship search "scams" that imitate legitimate search companies, foundations, and sponsors. These companies may request money for their services, advertise that they "guarantee" results, or ask for inappropriate personal information such as your bank or Social Security number.  Beware of anyone who requests money for scholarship search services.
