About
SCHOLARSHIPS AND AWARDS: OPPORTUNITY: SCHOLARSHIP FUNDING WILL ALWAYS BE A VITAL PART OF THE FOUNDATION'S MISSION, LEVELING THE PLAYING FIELD BY MAKING SURE EDUCATION IS AVAILABLE TO ALL WHO SEEK IT. DESPITE THE COLLEGE'S BEST EFFORTS TO CONTAIN COSTS, EVEN WITH THE LOWEST TUITION IN OUR REGION, TUITION, FEES, TRANSPORTATION, AND EVEN SUSTENANCE ARE OBSTACLES FOR MANY STUDENTS WHO HAVE A PROFOUND AND COMPELLING NEED FOR ASSISTANCE. SCHOLARSHIPS HAVE A TRANSFORMATIONAL IMPACT, MOST OFTEN MAKING THE CRUCIAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MOVING AHEAD AND FALLING BEHIND. IN ADDITION TO IMPORTANT FINANCIAL BENEFITS, SCHOLARSHIPS BESTOW ON STUDENTS A VALUABLE SENSE OF RECOGNITION AND ACCOMPLISHMENT. SCHOLARSHIPS ARE AVAILABLE FOR INCOMING, CONTINUING AND GRADUATING STUDENTS; THEY TAKE INTO ACCOUNT MERIT, NEED, AND OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES; EMERGENCY AID ASSISTS STUDENT WITH FOOD INSECURITY, TRANSPORTATION, AND UNFORESEEN PREDICAMENTS. THIS PAST YEAR, GIFTS FROM INDIVIDUALS, FOUNDATION, AND CORPORATIONS ENABLED THE WCC FOUNDATION TO REACH A NEW MILESTONE OF DISTRIBUTING $2 MILLION IN SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS; EVEN SO, WE CAN ONLY FUND ABOUT 60% OF DESERVING STUDENTS APPLYING FOR AID.
