The SJCC Scholarship Program includes scholarships sponsored by community organizations, businesses, campus organizations, and district/college faculty and staff. Specific requirements vary according to criteria set by each donor as well as the SJCC Scholarship Committee. The following points are generally given the most consideration:
- Academic Achievement – Grade Point Average
- Community Service
- Demonstrated talents and abilities
- Leadership Ability/Skills
- Educational & Vocational Objectives
- Commitment to education and community
- Financial Need (may be a factor, but seldom an exclusive factor)
- Quality of application (complete, neat, well written, etc.)
