    All users will be required to create a Blackbaud ID BBID and multi-factor authentication will be enforced to log into the Scholarship Portal.
  • This authentication will provide a variety of improvements, including: improved reliability for Blackbaud and easier, more intuitive sign-in experience.

Blackbaud ID (BBID): Blackbaud ID is identity management used that allows your data to be secured behind stronger authentication standards. All users will be associated with a Blackbaud ID (BBID) and requiring multi-factor authentication (MFA) to access the scholarship portal.

Multi-factor authentication (MFA): Multi-factor authentication (MFA) requires a user to successfully validate at least two of three factors to authenticate. Blackbaud ID (BBID) will require MFA using your password and a unique time-based one-time code, accessed on a secondary device such as text messages and mobile authenticators. We are proactively making this change, by enforcing industry standard security measures, to help safeguard your data.

Deadline: This is the date by which you should complete the General Application, any Supplemental Applications, or any individual scholarship applications to receive consideration. Please be aware that this date is April 16 of each year for CCD Institutional and Foundation Scholarships.

Award: The amount stated is for general information purposes and not a guarantee of what you may receive if awarded. Actual award amounts can vary based on recipient eligibility, available funds, and other factors.

Actions: Upon completion of the General Application and any Supplemental Applications, you will be automatically matched with scholarships for which you meet the criteria. These scholarships indicate “None” under “Action” and require no additional information from you for consideration. A limited number of scholarships indicate “Apply” under “Action” and require individual applications for consideration. A list of these scholarships can be found by viewing Recommended Opportunities from the opportunities tab.


Important Information:

  • First, you will complete the CCD General Scholarship Application.
  • Second, make sure you have a complete FAFSA or CASFA form on file.
  • Check “Recommended Opportunities” from the opportunities tab.
  • Log in to this portal once a month so you don’t miss any scholarship opportunities. Additional scholarships may become available throughout the year.
