Collier Scholars Common Application Opening Soon
Offered by Collier Community Foundation
About This Scholarship
The Collier Community Foundation in Naples, Florida runs the Collier Scholars Common Application, a single application that connects local students with scholarships for a wide variety of backgrounds, GPAs, areas of study, and levels of education. The application is typically open from November through February each year.
For the 2027-2028 academic year, the common application will open November 1, 2026 and close February 2, 2027. The foundation posts a checklist of items to gather in advance — including tax documentation from two years prior (2025 taxes for the 2027 application), which supports the need-based components of many funds. No incomplete or late applications are accepted after the posted deadline.
Attending college or trade school 'increases opportunity and opens doors,' as the foundation puts it, and its donors fund awards for both four-year degree seekers and students pursuing vocational and technical training in Collier County.
