CAREER AND SCHOLARSHIP GUIDES

CC Library Career Resources Guide
Here is a guide to finding information
in the Edmonds CC Library about jobs and careers. This is by no means a complete
list but is meant to give you a starting point for research.
How
to Find Scholarship Information on the Internet
Because we all have
characteristics that make us unique (age, gender, ethnicity, education level,
employment, etc.) finding scholarship opportunities that best meet each of our
individual needs can be difficult.
This PowerPoint presentation, created by
the Edmonds CC Library faculty, shows how to find the most useful online scholarship
information and resources
for you.
We have also created a Scholarship
Research Guide in Microsoft Word to provide you with a list of
the many resources available to help you with your search.
