Foundation Scholarships:
Each year the college Foundation provides scholarships and emergency grants for many students. Scholarship criteria vary; some are for specific areas of study or for individuals with specific backgrounds or needs.
Applicants will be considered for all scholarships for which they are eligible. All required materials must be included in your application packet. Students qualify for and may receive funds from multiple scholarships but only need to submit one application.

Complete the Dream Scholarship:
Students may only apply for the Foundation’s Complete the Dream Scholarship during their last or graduation quarter. You must also have experienced a significant financial, medical or family loss that has required you to drop your classes and therefore not graduate. The Complete the Dream Scholarship funds are available to help students through their tough times and enable them to graduate despite their personal crisis.
Scholarship Tips from Current Students
- Maintain a good grade point average.
- Participate in clubs and activities.
- Volunteer on campus or in the community.

| “Being an international student has been a great financial challenge for me. With the Merit Scholarship, I can save money for my textbooks next quarter. It will relieve my stress about financial difficulties. I think students should be active in searching for scholarships and work hard on their schooling. Thanks to this support, I can focus more on my study and participate in college activites! ” |

Kenichi Matsushita (Japan) |
| “I received an International Student Services (ISS) scholarship-the process was really easy. You just have to get the application form and fill it out; don’t forget to include a short essay about yourself. The scholarship was really helpful to me as an international student because studying abroad costs a lot. That is also why the International Student Services Office (ISS) offers international students this scholarship. You should not miss this opportunity and I really want to thank ISS for offering me this helpful scholarship!” |
