The College of Charleston Faculty/Staff Dependent Scholarship application period is open for the 2020–21 academic year through April 15, 2020. 

The Faculty/Staff Dependent Scholarship is open to the dependent children and spouses of faculty and staff who are either currently employed by the College or died while employed by the College and are seeking their first undergraduate bachelor’s degree. The amount of each scholarship is up to $2,000 and is disbursed half in the fall and half in the spring terms. Scholarships are not renewable; however, recipients may reapply for consideration each year. 

Recipients must enroll as full-time, degree-seeking undergraduate students at the College. Recipients must demonstrate academic achievement (minimum 3.0 GPA). Preference is given for applicants with financial need. Financial need is determined by the results of the 2020-21 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which must be filed by April 1, 2020, in order for the results to be returned in time for applicants to be considered for this scholarship.
