The PEAK is a scholarship program that provides two years of "last-dollar scholarship" for Clarendon High School graduates to attend Clarendon College.  The PEAK offers qualifying students with funding for the remaining balance due for tuition and fees after federal Pell or other grants, state grant funds and other scholarship awards are used to pay the cost of tuition and fees.  

As part of a pilot program, the PEAK Scholarship will also cover the cost for current Clarendon High School students to take dual credit courses through Clarendon College.

High School Students
The PEAK will fully fund the first three face-to-face hours of dual credit courses per fall and/or spring semester for eligible high school students.

College Students
The PEAK will fund the balance of tuition and fees due for students that still demonstrate financial need after all grant and scholarship awards are used to pay for tuition and fees. It is not a loan and does not have to be paid back.  PEAK funds will not be refunded to students as they are a “last-dollar scholarship.”
