Our Opportunities

Welcome to the Polk State College Foundation General Scholarship Application


Applications for the 2026-27 academic year are open from February 1 through February 28 for all current college students and graduating high school students. Foundation scholarships will be available for use beginning in the fall semester of the 2026-2027 Academic Year. They may be used in subsequent terms until they are fully expended, expired, or terminated pursuant to donor requirements.

Essay submissions found to be generated or overtly enhanced by AI may cause the application to be disqualified and removed from consideration. Additionally, students selected for scholarships who submit AI-generated Thank You letters will have their scholarship offers revoked, and a note will be placed in their file for future applications.
