Fines Creek Community Association Scholarship
PO Box 992
Lake Junaluska, NC 28745
Fines Creek Community Association (FCCA) is partnering with WNC Communities to simplify the scholarship application process. FCCA uses the George H. V. Cecil Journey Scholarship application. The Journey Scholarship application is found on the WNCCommunities.org webpage under the Community tab. High school seniors in the Fines Creek Community are encouraged to apply for both scholarships. If a senior only wishes to apply for the FCCA scholarship, then request that the Journey application be sent to the FCCA Scholarship Committee.
Fines Creek Community Association (FCCA) awards as many annual $500 ($250 per semester) scholarships as FCCA funds allow. This award is available to any eligible student in the Fines Creek Community (Fines Creek, Panther Creek, White Oak and Waterville). The Fines Creek Community is defined by the area within the attendance lines for the former Fines Creek School. An eligible student is one who is completing his/her last year of high school and is planning to attend college the following fall. The FCCA helps students with four-year scholarships but reserves the right to limit any scholarship to two years in order to support additional applicants.
Eligibility Criteria specific for FCCA Scholarship
