Scholarships
Thanks to donations from businesses, individuals, families, professional organizations and friends of the college, the Cascadia Community College Foundation offers many scholarships for Cascadia students. Applications for scholarships available through the CCC Foundation are accepted twice a year—once during fall quarter and once during spring quarter. Criteria for applying vary among scholarships, as does the amount to be awarded. For details, including application requirements and deadlines, students should visit the CCC Foundation web site at www.cascadia.edu/Foundation or call 425-352-8840.
The CCC Foundation also offers the Complete Your Dream Scholarship to students who have only 5-10 credits remaining to complete a degree or certificate and are in need of financial assistance. Eligible students should contact Student Financial Services or the CCC Foundation for more information about the Complete Your Dream Scholarship.
Student Financial Services maintains current listings and application procedures for an array of scholarships available to Cascadia students, including those available through the CCC Foundation.
