Surry Community College

If you think higher education might be inaccessible for you, Surry Community College will put it within reach. Through distance learning, continuing education and a variety of academic and professional training programs, Surry makes a college education available to everyone. Surry Community College has an open-door admissions policy, as well. This means that anyone over the age of 18 is welcome to take classes. Some degree programs, however, may have additional admissions requirements. The college offers several diploma, associate’s degree and certificate programs to suit your educational needs. Most of SCC’s academics are vocational training programs, but many Surry students choose to transfer to a four-year institution. To assist with this process, SCC staffs University Transfer Contacts who can help you determine your options and the best path to take. Need-based federal financial aid programs are a good way to help reduce the burden of tuition at Surry Community College. The SCC Scholarship Foundation also funds several scholarships. These awards are sponsored by local businesses, organizations and individuals. As such, they are based on a variety of criteria, including need, merit, military service and professional interests.
