Scholarships and Financial Aid at GCC

All scholarship awards and financial aid received from Grove City College can be applied to study abroad. Make sure that you fill out a Grove City financial aid from if you have not already done so. It may also be helpful to complete the FAFSA, even if you do not usually do so, because some private need-based scholarships depend upon Pell grant eligibility.

Any further questions can be discussed with representatives at the College’s Financial Aid Office.
