The Coastal Bend College Foundation offers multiple scholarships for CBC Students to assist them in their funding of their education pursuits.  These scholarships come from monies donated by various individuals, foundations, and businesses who believe in the pursuit of higher education.  Many of these applications have SPECIFIC requirements based on things like major/program of study, academic performance and/or financial need.  Please read each description carefully. 

Each scholarship will be reviewed by a separate group representing CBC Faculty, CBC Foundation Board of Directors Members, select CBC Deans and in some cases donor families themselves.
