Overview of Scholarships
The WCC Educational Foundation and the WCC Scholarship Foundation have a number of scholarship endowments which provide awards. In addition, private citizens, businesses and industries, and civic clubs also provide scholarship funds.
The WCC Scholarship Committee selects the recipients for the scholarships awarded by the foundations. Periodically, scholarships are publicized in the Daily Bulletin. Selected scholarships may be advertised in the service area for first-time students. Unless otherwise noted, financial need is required for selection. In some cases, a scholarship is awarded only after a student has completed one semester of enrollment. Applications are available in the Financial Aid Office, the WCC Educational Foundation Office, and at other campus locations and regional education centers and online.
