21st Century Scholar Student Application
The 21st Century Scholars Society scholarship was established in 2007 to invest in IVCC’s
most promising students. The Society’s mission is to reward currently enrolled IVCC
students who demonstrate academic excellence and college and community service.
This scholarship is for current IVCC students who will graduate or transfer to an
institution of higher education in May 2023.
A selection committee will review and choose from the applications submitted.
The Scholar is awarded up to $3,000 for their sophomore year to assist with tuition,
fees, books or educational expenses. In addition, finalists could possibly receive
awards ranging from $500 up to $1,500.
The online application will be available March 21, 2022.
