How to Apply for Scholarships
Clark's Office of Financial Assistance will guide you through the process of applying for federal, state and COPACE scholarship dollars. For more information, please contact the Office of Financial Assistance at 508-793-7478.
Eligibility is based on financial need. A standard formula is used to determine the difference between your cost of education (including tuition, books and fees) and an amount you can be expected to contribute. Factors such as income and assets are all taken into consideration, as well as any extenuating circumstances.
COPACE Scholarships
COPACE Friends Scholarship Fund
The COPACE Friends Scholarship Fund is a fund initiated by our COPACE alumni and friends. The personal support of our alumni signifies to us the value they place on their experience at Clark. It also supports our continued commitment to make the educational of adult learners both personally enriching and professionally satisfying. Eligibility is based on financial need.
Awards may provide tuition assistance at various levels, up to one-half of the cost of three undergraduate or two graduate courses.
