Applications are open to all students once enrolled at the college and are reviewed in the order they are received. You may also access additional community resourcesACC scholarships and Financial Aid.  

ARP funds are in addition to funds earlier authorized by the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund: Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA) and the Coronavirus Aid, Recovery, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.
