IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
When indicating your planned enrollment for the year in section two, be sure to
identify whether you will be enrolling as a “Part‐time” or “Full‐time” student each
quarter for which you intend to enroll.
Recipients must enroll in courses at Cascadia College between July 6, 2021 and June
10, 2022 to receive an award. If you do not plan to enroll at Cascadia during this
period, please do not apply for a scholarship.
Students enrolled in the Running Start program for the 2021‐22 academic year (July
6, 2021 – June 10, 2022) are not eligible. Students completing Running Start during
the 2020‐2021 academic year and intending to enroll at Cascadia as a general
student during the 2021‐22 year are eligible.
Section 3 of the Application asks you to “self‐identify” regarding information that
our donors and sponsors care about and wish to support through their scholarships.
Your selection(s) allow us to match your application with the most appropriate
award(s). The information you provide will be shared with scholarship donors and
selection committee members. Please consider your selections thoughtfully.
For essay questions #1 and #2, consider including in your responses, career interests,
as well as pertinent personal perspectives and experiences – and why these are
important to you.
Plan on enrolling in a minimum of ten (10) credits each quarter you intend to enroll
at Cascadia during the award year.
Generally, award disbursement begins the first quarter you enroll. You may request
a different disbursement schedule.
You accept all responsibility for any impact a Foundation scholarship award may
have on your financial aid package. Student Financial Services will be informed of
your receipt of this award.
Many scholarships are awarded based on criteria other than need. Scholarships are
available for students who are not eligible for federal assistance. All Cascadia
students are encouraged to apply.
