Foundation Scholarships Now Available
Each year, the Seattle Colleges Foundation and South Seattle Colleges Foundation award hundreds of student scholarships. Scholarships are awarded to incoming, current, international, and transferring students. This year, both foundations have partnered to create one application for all scholarship opportunities. The application is open from February 14 through April 15, 2020. If awarded, the scholarship will be applied to a student's 2020-2021 school year at South Seattle College.

Are there things I can do to prepare in advance?
Yes! Two big things:
- Contact your prospective references. It is a great time to start identifying who would be good references to give you positive feedback to your efforts. Ideally, at least one reference will be a South faculty or staff member.
- Obtain unofficial transcripts for your past work in college or high school.
Scholarship Tip: References & Scholarship FAQs
The application requires a submission of two references. Your recommenders will submit their references through an online portal. Get started now in securing your references. Check out the Seattle Colleges Foundation FAQ sheet for additional information.
