Community Action Board Scholarship

Hillsborough County's Community Action Board Scholarship program offers scholarships worth up to $5,000 each to eligible students wishing to continue their post-secondary education. The scholarships can be used at trade schools, community colleges, or four-year universities. The scholarships are awarded to students to help alleviate some of the financial burden college tuition creates for many students, so they can focus on furthering their education, not bills. Applicants must be between 16 and 24 years old, reside in Hillsborough County, have a high school diploma or GED equivalent, maintain a minimum GPA of 2.0, and meet household income requirements within 125% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines of the Community Services Block Grant.
