How to apply for a scholarship

Our 2026-2027 FCFP Scholarship Application process is now open.

1. Create an account. 

Create a user account with a current email and password. Your email will not be shared; it will be used only for the scholarship portal. 

We suggest using an email that you frequently check. Using your high school email is discouraged as those accounts are usually deactivated after graduation. 

2. Complete and submit your universal application. 

You will be matched to any scholarships that fit the criteria you enter on the universal application. Follow the instructions to complete all the application steps, and work with your guidance counselor and our Scholastic Initiatives Officer, if needed. When you are ready, submit the application through the portal. 

3. Additional Requirements. 

Some opportunities require additional information, such as an essay or letters of recommendation, as directed by the scholarship donor. Be sure to complete all required elements of the application.

Review your Dashboard at any time to verify you have submitted all requirements.

4. Notification for recipients. 

Most high schools announce scholarship recipients at graduation. If you have been awarded, you will receive a letter and an email from FCFP at a later date. We do not send denial letters. If you are a non-traditional student, we will send you a letter if you receive the award.

5. Contact your school guidance counselor or FCFP’s Scholastic Initiatives Officer. 

If you are a high school student, we recommend working closely with your high school guidance counselor throughout the application process. If you are a non-traditional student, our Scholastic Initiatives Officer will be able to answer any of your questions.
