Edmonds Chamber Foundation Scholarship
The Edmonds Chamber Foundation has established an Edmonds Community College Foundation annual scholarship to provide financial assistance to students pursuing a health care, humanities/arts, or business degree. “Our hope is that a local resident will be able to further their education and bring those skills, learned at Edmonds Community College, back into our community to improve the quality of life for all residents.” – Lillyan Hendershot, President of the Edmonds Chamber Foundation
The funding of the Edmonds CC scholarship is in keeping with the Chamber Foundation’s mission to support the economic, recreational, and educational interests of the Edmonds area business community and its citizens.
For the 2019 – 2020 academic year, the Edmonds Chamber Foundation has awarded one scholarship of $4,500 to cover an Edmonds CC student’s tuition, fees and books. In addition, last year’s scholarship winner for 2018 – 2019 was awarded a second scholarship of $2,250 to fund their second year of school.
Each year the scholarship recipient is chosen by a committee comprised of Chamber Foundation board members, employees, volunteers and Edmonds CC Foundation employees.
Recipients must demonstrate financial need, have a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher, and reside within the Edmonds School District or be a graduate of an Edmonds School District high school, and must also be pursuing a degree in health care, humanities/arts, or business.
The Edmonds CC Foundation annual scholarship application opens Feb. 22. The deadline is March 19, and scholarship recipients will be notified in May.
With help from doners like you, we hope to grow to three annual $4,500 scholarships.
