Scholarships available for SUMMER QUARTER 2020
The purpose of this scholarship is to provide students with a one-time award to help offset a significant,
recent (defined as within the last 3 months) and unforeseeable change in their financial situation that
would prevent them from finishing their education and exiting Edmonds College by the end of fall quarter.
Because this scholarship is intended for students who will complete their education at Edmonds College in
the quarter in which it is received, recipient students are ineligible for any further scholarships from the
Edmonds College Foundation. Awards are contingent on available resources and number of qualified
applicants.
To qualify, students MUST MEET ALL FIVE REQUIREMENTS:
Be completing their degree or program of study by the end of Summer Quarter 2020 and NOT
starting a new degree program or continuing education at Edmonds College.
Have experienced a significant, recent (within the past 3 months) and unforeseeable change in
their financial situation.
Be currently enrolled in good standing at Edmonds College with a minimum cumulative GPA of
2.5.
Did not receive a Foundation scholarship for the 2020-21 academic year.
Did not previously receive a Complete the Dream Scholarship.
If you are selected for a scholarship, a phone call will be made to the number provided on the
application page on June 26, 2020. The Financial Aid office will be notified of the awarded scholarship,
but any remaining balance after that amount will be your responsibility.
If you are not
selected for a scholarship, an email will be sent to the address provided on the application
page on June 26, 2020. If applicable, the hold placed on your campus account will be released and any
balance due will be your responsibility.
