Students who want to apply for any of the above listed scholarships should go to www.clearfieldcharitablefoundation.org, then click on “2023 CCCF Scholarship Application Portal,” then find their school or scholarship they wish to file an application for.
The first time a student visits the scholarship application portal, they will need to set up a log in account using their e-mail address and creating a password by clicking on the “New Applicant” link.
The following is the screen they will see to log into the scholarship application portal:
Once the student has established a log in and password, they can file as many scholarship applications as they meet the qualifications and criteria for.
Upon starting a new application for any of the available scholarships, the student applicant will be asked as series of questions to see if they qualify for a particular scholarship.
If they qualify, then the full application will open up for the student to complete.
Students may save and return to the application an unlimited number of times, but the student should be aware they must complete and file the application by the deadline for each particular scholarship they wish to apply for.
Currently, all of the online applications have a submission deadline of April 15 at 11 p.m., with the exception of the Reitz Theater Performing Arts Scholarship which has a deadline of March 31 at 11 p.m.
Failure to complete electronic submission by the deadline will eliminate that student’s application from consideration.
