Donor-Supported Scholarships

Endowed and annual scholarships are funds that benefactors provide to Keystone College to award to students in accordance with the criteria established for each scholarship. The Financial Assistance & Planning Office awards most of these scholarships during the preparation of the financial assistance package; however some do require a separate application process. All students who receive one of these awards are asked to respond to the benefactors through the Development Office and receive instructions on doing so.

We recommend when searching for scholarships that you use trusted sites such as Education Planner, College Board, Scholarships or FastWeb. Any website or financial aid consultant asking for a fee to find scholarships for you is only going to do what you can do yourself. Please take the time to research scholarships yourself or contact our office before you pay someone else to do it.
