Frequently Asked Questions about Scholarships
I’m having trouble logging into my scholarship portal, what do I do?
To log into the scholarship application, you will use your myClackamas login credentials (email and password). Your login is the first part of your myClackamas email address, do not include the @student.clackamas.edu. For example: john.smith@student.clackamas.edu would just use john.smith for the login name. Then, use the same password that you use to log into your myClackamas account.
I have forgotten my password, what do I do?
If you have forgotten your myClackamas password, please go through the steps of resetting your myClackamas password first. Once you’ve successfully logged into your myClackamas, try to log into the scholarship portal again.
You can also stop by the Financial Aid Resource Lab to get help with the login and with the scholarship application. The lab is located in the Roger Rook building at the Oregon City campus. They are opened Monday-Thursday from 10:00am-1:00pm and 1:30-3:00pm.
How do I attach a Word document letter of recommendation to your recommendation page?
Highlight the body of the document and right click, then choose copy. Go to the space on the reference page (where the link sent you) right click in the white space and click paste. Letterhead is not needed since the letter can only be completed through the scholarship portal.
Can I do the scholarship application on my phone?
Unfortunately, the application does not work on mobile devices. Use Firefox or Google Chrome on your desktop or laptop.
How do I see if my reference letter(s) have been submitted or to send them a reminder?
When you log in, click on References in the blue bar. Click on active. Under the status column you will see requested or submitted. If it still says “requested” you have the option to resend the request and the person will receive another invitation email to write a reference letter.
Are CCC scholarships available for international students?
CCC scholarships are available for students who will be taking classes to pursue a certificate or degree. International students are eligible to apply as long as they are pursuing a certificate or degree here at CCC and will be taking classes at one of our campuses.
How do I know if I didn’t receive a scholarship for the first round of scholarships? And, do I need to apply again for the second round?
You will be sent an email letting you know that you were chosen or not chosen for a scholarship the first round. However, your application will still be considered for the second round so you do not need to reapply!
Are CCC scholarships transferable to other colleges?
No, scholarships are not transferable. CCC scholarships can only be used here at Clackamas Community College.
If I have scholarships that I received independently from outside CCC, where do I have those sent, and with what information, to make sure they go into my student account?
Please have your donors make their check out to Clackamas Community College.
