Get scholarship money for college

Germanna makes it easy to find money for college. We offer over 70 scholarships just for Germanna learners. That means you.

Applications will open late February 2025.

Apply for over 70 scholarships through one brief application and automatically get matched to all available scholarships. At the end of the application process, you’ll be able to see every scholarship for which you qualify.

Students are encouraged to apply yearly. As a requirement to complete the scholarship application, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to qualify. Scholarships are awarded each aid year in July for fall and spring of the upcoming academic year.

If I am not selected to receive a scholarship, do I need to re-apply for the next year?

Yes, all applicants must re-apply once the new calendar year begins.

How will I be notified that I have been selected to receive a scholarship?

All recipients will be notified at their Germanna student email account and will be given instructions as to how to accept or decline their award. Students will be sent the Scholarship Recipient Agreement Form on behalf of the Educational Foundation to complete, acknowledging their award. At this time, please complete a thank you letter and submit this to the Educational Foundation.

What will the scholarship pay for?

Depending on the particular scholarship, funds may be utilized to purchase books as well as for tuition and fees. If a student does not enroll or attend for the semester awarded, the funds will returned to the Education Foundation to be re-invested or re-distributed for future awards or to another student.
