SCHOLARSHIPS
Scholarships for Community College and Trade School.
A four-year degree is not the only path. There is money for these journeys too.
Not every future runs through a four year university. Community college scholarships and trade school scholarships help fund the path that fits you.
College looks different for everyone. Community college scholarships and trade school scholarships open doors for students headed into skilled careers and two year programs. If a four year school is not your plan, you still deserve funding. EAESSI supports many paths, not just one.
Are there scholarships for community college and trade school?
Yes, plenty. Community college scholarships and trade school scholarships fund two year degrees, certificates and career training. In Virginia, programs like G3 help cover tuition in high demand fields, and groups like GRASP award community college scholarships to local students.

Why choose a two-year or trade path?
These paths cost less, finish faster and lead straight to real jobs. For many first generation students, a community college or trade program is a smart, affordable start, and scholarships make it even more reachable.
