The College Fund of Pinellas County is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization run entirely by volunteers. We raise money in order to help financially disadvantaged Pinellas County residents who have excellent scholastic potential, but insufficient funds to obtain a bachelor鈥檚 degree and thereby improve themselves, their family鈥檚 living standard, and their role in the community.
Grant recipients receive $1,200 per year. Once a student is selected, remains academically qualified, continues to receive a Pell grant, and continues to carry 12 or more hours, that student is supported until he or she receives a maximum of $4,800 or completes a bachelor's degree, whichever comes first.
Apply now to be considered for a scholarship from the College Fund of Pinellas County, Inc. Applications will be accepted until Friday, JUNE 12, 2026, 11:59 PM EST.
