Edmonds Community College Foundation

Since 1992, Edmonds Community College Foundation has provided funds to award one GED Excellence Tuition Scholarship each quarter, the only community college involved in administering the GED tests which offers such a scholarship.

There is no application involved. Instead, an information sheet is provided to each person taking the exam. At the end of the quarter, the individual who has earned the highest total score for the quarter receives the GED Excellence Tuition Scholarship. If the individual cannot use the scholarship, the person with the next highest total score is offered the scholarship.

GED examinees come from all walks of life and represent a diverse population. They range in age from 16 to 62. For the majority of the GED Excellence Tuition Scholarship recipients, this award gives them the beginning to achieving their academic goals in the higher education arena.
