Fresh Start Scholarship
We love a good second chance! That’s why SIC is offering a new scholarship specifically for our nontraditional students!
Sometimes life happens and keeps us from meeting our goals. But if you’ve been thinking about returning to college, now is a great time! We’re offering an opportunity to reinvest in your personal growth and broaden your career prospects, with a tuition waiver of six credit hours that is renewable.
How to apply
How will I fit classes into my busy schedule?
Although some students prefer on-campus classes, many classes are also offered in an online format, which means you can take them at a time that is convenient for you! If the program you choose is more hands-on, you may prefer or be required to take classes in person.
What programs can I choose from?
If you’re looking for a credential or short program to get your career jump-started, check out our Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs! These include Nursing, Cosmetology, Criminal Justice, Diesel Technology, PowerSports, Information Technology, Outdoor Recreation, Outfitter Wildlife Management, Pharmacy Technician, Phlebotomy, Welding, and Vet Assistant.
If you plan to transfer to a university, you can earn your associate degree at SIC. You’ll want to work with an advisor to maximize transferability to the university of your choice. See our Transfer Programs.
Contact an advisor at advising@sic.edu or call (618)252-5400, ext. 4130.
