CFNCW Scholarships

The Community Foundation of North Central Washington has a wide range of scholarships available for students. There are over 150 scholarships available, each with its own specific criteria. The online application process will ask questions that will determine the scholarships for which you are eligible. There are two separate scholarship applications - one for General scholarships and one for Nursing/Allied Health/Trades. If you are applying for the latter, we recommend you also apply for General scholarships as well. Once you complete the application, you'll receive an email that will include the list scholarships for which you are eligible and any supplemental questions that may be required to complete. Deadlines will differ, depending on which scholarship you are applying for. General scholarship applications are due March 1st, and Nursing, Allied Health, and Trade School scholarship applications are due June 1st. Applicants should have the following available to complete the application: a high school and/or college transcript, a list of participation in activities, a Student Aid Index (SAI) from the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and email addresses for letters of recommendation (at least one should be a school-related professional, such as a teacher, counselor, coach, etc.); some scholarships require three letters of recommendation. Incomplete applications will not be considered. Every application is reviewed by members of the Community Foundation's volunteer scholarship selection committees. Each application is evaluated on an objective and competitive basis, considering academic and nonacademic factors such as financial need, leadership, community service, and special circumstances. Students will be notified of award status by email. If you are awarded a scholarship, you will be provided instructions to sign a scholarship agreement and provide verification of enrollment. Once we receive the required signatures and documentation, we schedule payment directly to the Financial Aid office of the school you're attending.
