Paying for college takes planning and preparation. Both the Community Foundation of St. Clair County and The Athletic Factory in Port Huron could be able to help.
The Community Foundation of St. Clair County has opened its 2022/2023 Scholarship Application portal on its website. Applications are due March 13th.
One application is all that is needed to apply for most of the Community Foundation Scholarships. The scholarships are for high school or GED graduates and current college students, as well as non-traditional and returning students.
The Athletic Factory is hosting a series of workshops to explain the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, and the Tuition Incentive Program, or TIP. TIP money is available to students who received Medicaid benefits for two years within a three-year period between age 9 and graduation. Completing the FAFSA is mandatory for receiving any kind of aid at most colleges.
The workshops are held on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Athletic Factory’s location at Trinity Lutheran Church on 10th Street in Port Huron.
