VCCF Scholarship Foundation
There are many different scholarships under this foundation to apply to, so please be aware that you can only apply to those that you are eligible for. For example, many scholarships will be based on major, ethnicity, or club involvement. One important factor that I would like to share is that VCCF is not income-based.
