Welcome to the College of Lake County’s Scholarship Hub

Ready to apply for CLC Scholarship?

Click here to get started with your General Scholarship Application for over 100 opportunities at CLC!

¿Cómo puedo solicitar?

  • The priority deadline for Fall 2025: July 31, 2025
  • The priority deadline for Spring 2026: December 31, 2025

After completing the general scholarship application click SUBMIT. Your application cannot be graded unless it has been submitted. You can always go back and update your application if needed. The Scholarship Coordinator and CLC’s Scholarship Committees will evaluate and grade the applications to select the scholarship award recipients. You will be matched with the best scholarship opportunities from over 100 options (the more complete the application(s), the better the match).

  • Applying for scholarships at the College of Lake County has never been easier!
  • We have streamlined the process to just one application: The General Scholarship Application. When you complete the General Application, based on your answers, you may be directed to complete other opportunities that ask for specific scholarship opportunity questions that are not automatically matched.
  • Want to know which scholarships you have been auto-matched to? Click on My Applications, scroll down below your General application tile, and you should see tiles to Opportunities you have been auto-matched to. Some scholarships may require either a separate application or “Apply-To” opportunities where you will be directed to answer opportunity specific questions. These applications and apply-to opportunities can be found under Recommended Opportunities on the top of this page.
