The CavGuarantee Scholarship is non-renewable, and the scholarship is not stackable with other institutional scholarships. For example, if you are eligible for another institutional scholarship of greater value, that scholarship will replace the CavGuarantee. Complete the JCCC Scholarship Application every year by the priority deadline to be considered for future scholarships!
