July 1, 2022 - June 30, 2023                      

We are pleased to implement our online portal Submittable as part of our efforts to simplify and streamline CCC Scholarship Endowment reporting and communication. As we transition, we know you may have questions about using Submittable and the new streamlined Excel spreadsheet, which can be accessed directly from this form (see below). Before you begin, be sure to read all instructions in this portal and on the spreadsheet. 

Please complete and return your 2022-23 Osher Scholarship College Report in Submittable no later than October 2, 2023.         

If you have questions about the report or reporting process, you can contact the Foundation for California Community Colleges at endowment@foundationccc.org or 866.325.3222 Ext. 144. As a reminder, you can find program guidelines, FAQs, and more at the CCC Scholarship Endowment college hub here.

Submittable: Using the Submission Portal

You will submit your 2022-23 Osher Scholarship College Report and receive ongoing communication for this program via Submittable. Submittable’s help center provides resources and answers and a guide for getting started as a submitter. For technical questions, you can send a message via the Submittable help center here. 

Getting started 

If you’re new to Submittable, start by creating an account and accessing the 2022-23 Osher Scholarship College Report. You’ll use this account in future years as well. When creating an account, your choices for the answers regarding account personalization and staying in touch will not affect how FoundationCCC communicates with you. Add collaborators if you’ll be working on the report with others, including the person authorized to approve the report. 

Throughout the scholarship cycle, a report remains tied to the account under which it was originated (referred to as the “submission owner”). If, during the scholarship cycle, you need to change an account’s email address, follow these instructions. If you lose access to the email address under which your report was submitted or have other technical issues, you can reach out to Submittable by emailing support@submittable.com. If these issues persist, let FoundationCCC know.

Communication 

The report submission owner will be notified via Submittable at key points during the scholarship cycle, including if there is a request for clarification or for corrective action notification. Primary contacts and others listed in your report will be included in general communication regarding the CCC Scholarship Endowment.

Don’t miss an email: In order to avoid security filters flagging Submittable emails as spam, we highly recommend that you whitelist or safelist Submittable right from the start. Find instructions for doing so here.

Scholarship Application

FY24

Scholarship Guidelines

The Educating for Change Scholarship, made possible through a generous gift from Dr. Joseph Bick and Ms. Stephanie Koop, provides financial support to California Community College (CCC) students who have a parent incarcerated in a prison administered by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR). Scholarships will help students to enroll in and attend a California Community College. 

Award Amounts & Use of Funds 

The scholarship amount per student will be up to $1,000 per academic term and will be disbursed in Spring 2024. Scholarships may be used to cover education related costs, including but not limited to tuition and fees, books and other instructional materials, computer equipment, internet access, educational tools, and uniforms. Funds will be awarded twice a year based on verification of student enrollment.

Other uses can include food, healthcare, household items, clothing, childcare, housing, and transportation, but any portion of the scholarship used for these costs is considered taxable income under IRS regulations. Scholarship recipients should be aware of this distinction so they can make an informed decision about how they use their scholarship. 

Eligibility Criteria 

Applicants must be either:

• (1) A high school senior who plans to attend a California Community College

                       OR

• (2) A student currently enrolled in a California Community College

At the time of application, applicants must have a parent in a prison administered by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR)

• The definition of parent includes biological or adoptive parent, step-parent, foster parent, or legal guardian

Prior to disbursement of scholarship funds, the student must provide proof of enrollment in a California Community College for at least 12 units or maintain an alternate full-time equivalent status 

Application, Selection, & Notification Process 

Students will submit their application and all supporting documentation directly to FoundationCCC via the secure online platform Submittable. FoundationCCC will verify and confirm that all eligibility requirements are met. All eligible students who submit an application by the deadline will be considered for a scholarship. 

FoundationCCC will use a randomized selection process to select the scholarship recipients from the total pool of eligible applicants. 

Applicants who are selected to receive an award must provide documentation of enrollment in at least 12 units or an alternate full-time equivalent status prior to release of funds for each academic term. Once a recipient’s enrollment status has been verified, FoundationCCC will disburse funds to the appropriate college, which will disburse funds to the student. 

Timeline 

For the 2023-24 academic year, the application deadline is October 9, 2023. Applicants will be notified of award decisions by October 16, 2023. 

To receive payment for the Spring 2024 academic term, scholarship recipients must submit documentation of enrollment in at least 12 units or an alternate full-time equivalent status  by February 5, 2024.

Renewals 

Students who receive a scholarship and remain enrolled may apply for subsequent scholarships if funds are available. As noted above, students will need to submit documentation of enrollment for each semester to receive additional funds. If an incarcerated parent has been released since the time of the initial scholarship application, that student will continue to be eligible for renewal of the scholarship. 

Applications will be submitted via FoundationCCC’s online portal, Submittable. For technical questions about Submittable, you can visit the help center and/or send a message here. 

If you need to change an account’s email address, follow these instructions. If you lose access to the email address under which your report was submitted or have other technical issues, you can reach out to Submittable by emailing support@submittable.com.
