Pursuing scholarships is a worthwhile endeavor to help you pay for your college education and access opportunities to support your academic and professional goals. Scholarships can come from a variety of sources-- locally, regionally, and nationally. The CFK Foundation offers numerous scholarships (Click here to learn about CFK Foundation scholarships). The College also encourages students to pursue other opportunities beyond CFK. Please note that outside scholarships must be reported to ensure that financial aid awards remain in compliance with federal regulations.

Scholarship Tips:

• Inquire about financial aid programs sponsored by your or your parents’ employers.
• Pursue financial aid scholarships on the web and through your public school system, local businesses, grocery or department stores, churches, banks/ credit unions, pharmaceutical companies, national brands and companies.
• Also, check with local civic groups and professional organizations.
• Be sure to avoid scholarship scams! There are a wide variety of scholarship scams out there, and it may not always be easy to identify them. One thing you should always remember is that you should never be asked for money or any financial information in order to apply for a scholarship or to receive one. All legitimate scholarships will be free to apply for, and the information about these scholarships will be readily available online. For more information about scholarship scams, visit
