If Awarded a Scholarship

Prince George's Community College scholarships are made possible through the generosity of donations from several individuals and organizations.

Each scholarship recipient must write a thank-you note to their respective donor. Also, recipients may be asked to participate in a donor appreciation event and provide community service hours to the College.

Failure to comply may render the applicant ineligible to receive scholarship awards for the current semester.
