Student Scholarship Fund

About the Student Scholarship Fund

In 2019 the Lower Columbia College Foundation awarded $449,000 in student scholarships, thanks to the generous support of scholarship donors.

Scholarships may be named in honor or memory of an individual or family member. Scholarships may also be established in the name of a business or organization to foster a spirit of corporate citizenship and community support.

“Scholarships play an important role in removing financial barriers for our students and in helping them achieve their goal of a college education!” — Foundation Board Chair, Rich Gushman
