CCC Scholarship Policy
Coffeyville Community College offers scholarships on a competitive basis for academics, activities and athletics to high school graduates and individuals who have successfully completed the General Education Development (GED) or high school equivalency examination. Scholarships for academic, technical, activity and athletic programs may vary in requirements and coverage. Verbal agreements are not binding. All official and binding scholarship details are contained in the signed scholarship agreement. Please refer to your signed agreement for the specific terms and conditions of your award.
1. Students are encouraged to apply for admission before submitting a scholarship application.
2. Scholarships will cover up to 24 credit hours per semester. Any additional credit hours beyond these limits will be the student’s financial responsibility.
3. Scholarship recipients must be enrolled as full-time students (a minimum of 12 credit hours).
4. All students on a CCC scholarship who reside outside of a 60-mile radius of Coffeyville are required to live in the College residence halls.
5. Students may receive only one institutional scholarship, including CCC Foundation Scholarships. The Wheat and Sunflower Scholarships are the only exceptions and may be awarded in addition.
6. Students receiving an institutional scholarship who are also awarded a Foundation Scholarship will not receive additional funds; their existing scholarship will be reclassified as a Foundation Scholarship.
7. Students will remain on the original scholarship, unless special circumstances warrant a change. Activity sponsors/coach must agree to scholarship transfers and the transfer must be pre-approved in writing by the Vice President for Student Services.
8. Students receiving textbooks through the scholarship program are borrowing rental copies. The scholarship covers rental costs only—students are responsible for replacement fees if books are lost or damaged. The scholarship also covers one-time access codes for required digital course content selected by instructors. If an access code is lost or needs to be replaced, the student is responsible for the cost of a new code. All rental books must be returned within seven (7) days after your last final exam. Books not returned on time or returned with significant damage (for example: torn pages, water damage, excessive writing, broken bindings) will incur replacement charges to your student account. All rental books remain the property of Coffeyville Community College.
9. Scholarships do not apply to the Fall Interim Session.
10. A limited number of scholarships are available for the June summer session. To qualify, students must be enrolled in a minimum of six (6) credit hours and have a scholarship application on file with the Vice President for Student Services.
11. Students who are in default on a federal student loan will not be eligible for any type of federal or institutional aid/scholarship.
12. Signed scholarship agreements must be received by August 1st, or the scholarship offer may become null and void.
Scholarship Academic Requirements
Scholarship recipients must be a full-time student making reasonable academic progress toward a degree. Students planning to graduate taking less than 12 hours can file an appeal with the Vice President for Student Services for review.
Reasonable academic progress is defined by the following parameters:
1. Passing 12 credit hours per semester with a minimum 2.0 semester grade point average (GPA). A 2.0 GPA is required for graduation from CCC.
2. A student who does not complete 12 credit hours with a minimum semester GPA of 2.0 will be placed on scholarship warning. A subsequent warning will result in scholarship suspension.
Scholarship Satisfactory Academic Progress will follow the same guidelines as Federal Financial Aid, unless an exception has been made by a Vice President in writing.
1. Students on Federal Financial Aid as well as an institutional scholarship must be progressing towards a degree and at a pace that allows them to graduate within a maximum timeframe. Students will be expected to complete their graduation requirements within four (4) semesters. Federal Aid does allow a student up to 96 credit hours of length of the program to complete the requirements and still receive federal aid. However, if at any point it is determined that a student cannot complete their degree within the maximum timeframe for the program, the student is no longer eligible for federal aid, or institutional scholarships.
2. Students that are not able to graduate within the expected four (4) semesters, or 64 credit hours, may file an extension to determine continuing federal aid and scholarship eligibility.

Scholarship Violations and Consequences
Students must meet all scholarship requirements as per the activity sponsor/coach scholarship agreement to be eligible for the scholarship the following semester.
If a student does not meet the scholarship requirements (i.e. academic performance, disciplinary reasons, poor attitude/cooperativeness, lack of attendance, and/or missed practices or performances) each semester, Coffeyville Community College reserves the right to revoke the scholarship or decrease the scholarship award, if it meets the following:
1. If a student is in violation of institutional policy, a scholarship can be revoked at any point during the semester by the Vice President for Student Services, Coach or Activity Sponsor. If the violation occurs before the mid-point of the semester, a student may be responsible for all charges. If the violation occurred after the mid-point of the semester, the scholarship would cover the expenses.
2. The Vice President for Student Services, Coach or Activity Sponsor must notify the student in writing of the rationale for their decision to revoke or decrease the scholarship.
3. Scholarship removal may be appealed through the institutional appeal process.
