SSC Scholarship Info & Application
Federal Pell Grant
The Pell Grant is awarded only to undergraduate students who have not earned a bachelor's or professional degree. It is a grant and does not have to be repaid. The US Dept. of Education uses a standard formula to determine your eligibility for it. SSC must receive a valid SAR or ISIR no later than June 30 of the award year, or the student's last day of attendance, whichever comes first. If the student leaves school or completes his/her program and the College does not have a valid ISIR, the student is not eligible for a Pell Grant, or other aid. Read more [ ]
