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.
All local scholarship information can be found on the Class of 2025/Class of 2026 Schoology pages. Please contact your school counselor for questions.
